Martin Guptill, a batter, played three IPL seasons for three franchises.

The arrival

Martin Guptill's first IPL season was 2016, with Mumbai Indians, a signing made outside the auction. That debut came after going unsold once (2013).

That first season brought 3 matches and 57 runs.

The peak

The high point with the bat was 2017, for Kings XI Punjab: 132 runs at an average of 22.0, striking at 150.0 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 133.4, with 1 fifty, and a highest score of 50 not out.

Franchise by franchise

2016, Mumbai Indians. 3 matches and 57 runs.

2017, Kings XI Punjab. Bought at the 2017 auction for ₹50 lakh. 7 matches and 132 runs.

2019, Sunrisers Hyderabad. Bought at the 2019 auction for ₹1 cr. 3 matches and 82 runs.

2018 is missing from the record: a season without an IPL appearance.

How the runs came

Across the career, Martin Guptill struck at 137.5. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 133.0, so Martin Guptill scored about 5 runs per hundred balls faster than the typical batter of the time. 69% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 24 fours and 15 sixes.

The fielding record: 7 catches.

At the auction

Martin Guptill went under the hammer eight times, bought twice and left unsold six times. The highest price was ₹1 cr, paid by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2019. Unsold in 2013, Martin Guptill was bought in 2017 by Kings XI Punjab.

Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.

The legacy

Martin Guptill made 13 IPL appearances, the last for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2019.
