Stebin’s early years were marked by relentless dedication, forcing onlookers to take notice as he seamlessly combined studies with his growing passion for cricket.

Blessed with an adaptable batting technique, Stebin naturally shifts gears according to the match situation, effortlessly toggling between aggression and defence. It is this adaptability that caught the eye of many, allowing him to notch several critical half-centuries in high-pressure situations.

Among his numerous achievements, a standout moment came during an intense final in a European Club Championship, where he showcased his dual prowess by notching a swift fifty and bagging three critical wickets. The match not only elevated his reputation but also set in motion a fierce rivalry with another emerging talent who had bested him in prior matches, pushing both cricketers to hone their craft further.
