Born in Auckland, Elliott made his debut for the Black Caps in 2008 and quickly became known for his powerful batting and useful medium-fast bowling.
He gained international fame during the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup, where his match-winning six in the semifinal against South Africa helped New Zealand reach their first-ever World Cup final.
Elliott retired from international cricket in 2016, having contributed significantly to New Zealand’s success on the global stage. Post-retirement, he has been involved in coaching and mentoring in New Zealand cricket.
