Natalie Sciver

Natalie Sciver-Brunt, often described as the most complete cricketer in the world, is a powerhouse all-rounder whose technical mastery and big-game temperament have defined an era. Born on August 20, 1992, in Tokyo, Japan, she has been the engine of the England team for over a decade. Her 2025 season was one for the history books; she officially became the first player to surpass 1,000 career runs in the WPL, finishing the 2025 season with a record-breaking 523 runs for the Mumbai Indians. Beyond her personal milestones, she captained England during the 2025 ICC Women’s ODI World Cup in India, leading from the front with a magnificent century against Sri Lanka and guiding her side through a 'seismic' tournament that she herself described as a game-changer for the sport.

In the franchise circuit, Nat remains the crown jewel of the Mumbai Indians' 'One Family.' Ahead of the 2026 WPL season, the franchise made the easiest decision of the mega auction by retaining her for ₹3.5 crore, maintaining her status as one of the league's highest-paid and most valued overseas stars. Her 2025 campaign was a masterclass in all-round dominance, featuring an unbeaten 80* against Delhi and a clinical 3/18 with the ball against the UP Warriorz to help Mumbai secure their second title. As she prepares for the 2026 season starting in January, she is set to reunite with her legendary core—including Harmanpreet Kaur and the newly re-signed Amelia Kerr—forming a middle order that remains the gold standard of T20 cricket.
