3. Martin Guptill (New Zealand):

While losing three toes in a leg cannot be considered as something which is very serious, but to become one of the premier batsmen to represent a country by playing with only two toes in one of the legs is an achievement in itself. Martin Guptill lost three of his toes in an accident when he was aged 13, but that did not stop him from representing his country in all the three formats over the past 5 years.
