Martin Guptill's IPL catch cracks ESPN top 10, host struggles with his name

Blackcap Martin Guptill has cracked the big time, earning the number four slot on the ESPN plays of the day for his outstanding one-handed effort for the Kings XI against the Mumbai Indians

But unfortunately for the 30-year-old, his moment was tarnished as the American sports anchors pronounced his name horribly wrong.

In what can only be described as a mix between Spanish, French and Indian, host Kevin Connors produced a complete fail in attempting to pronounce the opening batsmen's name.

The Sportscenter host also chucked in a fairly lame joke proclaiming Guptill won the Golden hand award in 2016.
