1. Martin Guptill
While Guptill's Test career was a start-stop one, he sure did ensure to not make his white-ball career follow a similar path. One of the most elegant batters while executing the short-arm pull on one leg, Guptill has consistently made a striking presence in whichever team he has represented in the franchise cosmos with his enterprising display of ragingly purposeful shots. His non-inclusion could be yet again considered as one which comes out as a huge surprise.
