Mitchell Santner’s Stunning Catch in The Hundred 2024
In the ongoing The Hundred 2024 tournament in England, New Zealand’s star all-rounder Mitchell Santner showcased the old cricket saying, “Catch the catch, catch the match.” Playing for Northern Superchargers, Santner took a spectacular catch that left everyone in awe during the 29th match against London Spirit. The moment came when Reece Topley bowled the 11th ball, and London Spirit opener Michael Pepper tried to hit over mid-on. Santner, positioned at mid-on, ran back and dived to take an incredible catch. This effort is being hailed as the “catch of the season,” and the video quickly went viral on social media.
