He has also notched up three hundreds and eight fifties during the period. Only Kane Williamson, Joe Root and Eoin Morgan have recorded more half centuries during this time, with nine each.

Guptill followed up hundreds against Zimbabwe and South Africa in 2015 with a spectacular series against Lanka in December-January at home, where he scored 79, 93*, 30, 27 and 102. He has also recorded 39 sixes in ODIs since the World Cup, the highest by any batsman.
