Chris Cairns was a very handy player for the Black Caps and was also a capable big-hitter. He was an eligible all-rounder and provided balance in the Kiwi batting line-up.

He played 215 ODIs and scored 4,950 runs at a strike rate of 84.26. He also picked up 201 wickets during his tenure with the island nation in the 50-over format. The man from down-under had hit 153 sixes in ODIs.

With such promising statistics much, was expected of him in Twenty-20s. He did not live to the hype though as in 14 matches he scored only 176 runs with a poor strike rate of 118.12.
