Do you know this thing about Mitchell Santner?
If we tell you that a part time cricketer bowler forced Team India's batsmen to kneel, you might not believe it, but it has happened. In the second Test played in pune, a spinner playing part time cricket for new zealand destroyed Team India. The destruction was such that Team india lost the match. Here we are talking about New Zealand's spinner Mitchell Santner.
New Zealand's star spinner Mitchell Santner took 13 wickets in the second Test of the series played against Team india in Pune. Santner took 7 wickets in the first innings and 6 wickets in the second innings. If you open Santner's instagram profile and see, he has described himself as a 'part time cricketer' and 'full time golfer' in his bio. This thing written in Santner's bio is really shocking.
In this context, it can be said that a golfer, who plays cricket part time, forced the batsmen of Team india to kneel before him in the pune Test. Santner, who took 13 wickets, was awarded the title of 'Player of the Match' in the pune Test.
