Guptill's debut T20 innings in 2009 lasted just two balls

The explosive Kiwi opener made a mess of his T20 debut way back in 2009 in Sydney when Australia and New Zealand played out a humdinger. Australia made 150 batting first and Brendon McCullum and Martin Guptill were New Zealand's opening batsmen.

Peter Siddle, bowling the opening over, angled one into Guptill of the fourth ball of the innings. The opener failed to connect and was adjudged leg before wicket. Guptill had gone for a two-ball duck. The Black Caps opener, however, enjoys a pretty good T20 record till date with an average of 34.73.
