Ever wondered what a cricketer wants from his skipper? Complete trust in their abilities, a positive environment where one can give their best, calmly handling situations, the feeling of being valued and most importantly freedom to perform. That is exactly what Mitchell Santner is all about…a complete package as captain. 💯

On the other hand, a delight to have in any team… as an all-rounder, he reads the game well, a thinking cricketer who possesses a calm and relaxed demeanor on field 🆒. But what strikes out is his team-oriented mindset. He is always ready to put his hand up during challenging situations. His assurance of Main Hoon Na during high intensity clashes brings a sense of belief in the side. 💪

Come the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 campaign, Mitch guided the black caps with precision and pride through their whole journey. He marshaled his troops well en route their final. Though they faced hiccups during some contests… NZ were always in the ‘Never Give Up’ zone. Tight matches, nervy finishes, and moments where the seesaw shifted from one end to another. Mitch ensured his team showcased resilience and were rewarded with a place in the semi-final. 

Fortune favours the brave; the gutsy cricketer was the glue that kept his team together. He gave his boys full freedom to go out and express themselves. Santner was the most economical bowler, giving away just 25 runs in his 4 overs versus South Africa during the penultimate clash of the T20 WC. Come the finale, it was time to meet the inform Indians. The men in blue outplayed the Kiwis. Santner on the other end, accepted defeat graciously…with no excuses, he simply applauded the opposition, his humility makes him even more special. He ended the tournament with 120 runs and a SR- 142.85. 🙌
