The Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh: Martin Guptill of New Zealand produced a once-in-a-lifetime knock in the Legend 90 League, smashing an unbeaten 160 off just 49 balls to propel Chhattisgarh Warriors to a monumental 89-run win over Big Boys Unikari here on Monday. The Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium turned into a spectacle as Guptill’s brutal knock single-handedly outscored the opposition’s entire total.

A celebrated name in New Zealand's white-ball cricket history, Guptill set the stadium ablaze after the Warriors opted to bat first. The start was measured, but the veteran opener soon unleashed carnage, reaching his half-century in just 21 balls.

The real fireworks began in the 12th over when he plundered 29 runs off Ishan Malhotra, bringing up his century in just 34 balls, becoming the first player to score a century in the Legend 90 League. His next fifty came in just 13 deliveries, taking his total to a staggering 160 not out, the highest individual score of the tournament.
