India v New Zealand Test series – New Zealand Player Ratings
Mitchell Santner – 6/10:
If there was a player of the series to be awarded from either side Mitchell Santner would have been the player from New Zealand. More than what the numbers show and suggest Santner had specific and noteworthy impact in the three Tests. He was not just good with the ball in both the innings at Kanpur with 3/94 and 32 runs in the first inning and 2/79, but also scored 71 runs in the second inning.
He was the best bowler for them with the ball as he troubled the Indians the most. Santner bowled good lines and wasn’t easy to be hit around, he continued his impressive from in the second Test and picked up 4 wickets. But didn’t make a significant contribution with the bat. The left-arm spinner found it a little difficult to get to terms with the surface in Indore and was hit for plenty while scalping just 1 wicket in the 3rd Test.
