1. Martin Guptill, 472 runs in 2012
At the top of the ladder is Martin Guptill from New Zealand who scored 472 runs in 2012 as the opener for the Black Caps. The knock includes a legendary 101 not out against South Africa, where he hit a boundary of the last ball to seal the game for his team, also becoming the second batsman after Richard Levi to score a T20 international hundred chasing a target. Guptill also scored two more fifty plus scores in the 13 innings that he played in the calendar year.
