Guptill....

New Zealand opener Martin Guptill had had his fair share of troubles in his childhood. So much so that he could have lost his life in an incident that ultimately went on to give him a nickname. As Guptill reflects on the incident, he admits experiencing the worst pain in his life.

At a tender age of 14, the Kiwi batsman was involved in a crown forklift truck accident that resulted in surgical amputation of the three smaller toes of his left foot. Since then, he calls himself ‘Two Toes’ in a reminder of the accident that nearly cost him his life.

According to father Peter, Guptill became more determined after that.

"When he realized he could walk and do everything again he got right back into it, even harder than before. I think he realized in a flash everything could be lost so he's making the most if it," the senior Guptill said.

The determination and perseverance was evident when he smashed his way to an unbeaten 189 in the second ODI against England in June 2013, guiding his team to an 86-run victory in the series decider en route to the highest ODI score by a New Zealander.

There are a lot of rumours going around that Martin Guptill had gestured with two of his fingers during his innings today because he has only two toes on his left foot after being involved in a forklift accident during his younger days. But from what we gather, that piece of information is wrong.

The 28-year-old was actually gesturing to Craig McMillan, who is the current batting coach of the New Zealand cricket team.

He was pointing two fingers to McMillan because on the previous ball, he became only the second batsman to hit the top of the roof at the Westpac Stadium, Wellington. The only batsman to have done it before was McMillan.
