Mitchell Santner
Mitchell Josef Santner (born 5 February 1992) is a New Zealand international cricketer and current captain of New Zealand Cricket team in limited overs cricket. Domestically, he plays for Northern Districts cricket team. He is a bowling all-rounder who bats left-handed, and bowls slow left-arm orthodox spin. He has been involved in the highest 7th wicket partnership for New Zealand in Tests. Occasionally he plays golf as well. [citation needed] He was a part of the New Zealand squad to finish as runners-up at the 2019 Cricket World Cup. He captained the New Zealand team in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, where they ended up as runners-up in an enthralling final clash against India.
Santner was elevated towards the New Zealand team after a promising 2014–15 domestic season. He was named in the one-day squad for the tour of England following the retirement of Daniel Vettori after the 2015 World Cup as New Zealand searched for another left-arm spin option. Santner was then drafted into the touring squad at the start of the England tour to cover for the absence of the players at the Indian Premier League and made an immediate impression with a well-crafted 94 against Somerset. He was handed his One Day International debut at Edgbaston having played just 19 List A matches for Northern Districts.
In November 2020, Santner captained New Zealand for the first time in an international fixture, leading the team in the third Twenty20 International (T20I) match against the West Indies. He did so again in the first T20I match against Pakistan.
In December 2024, he was named New Zealand's permanent white-ball captain.
Santner was educated at Hamilton Boys' High School.
Santner was bought by Chennai Super Kings in 2018 for ₹50 lakhs but due to a bone defect in his knee that required surgery, made his IPL debut the following year. Playing for Chennai Super Kings he hit a 6 from the last ball of the match to defeat the Rajasthan Royals.
In the 2018 IPL auction the left-arm spinner was bought by Chennai Super Kings at his base price of 50 lakh rupees yet missed the whole season due to an injury. Between 2018 and 2024, he was playing for CSK. In the 2022 mega auction, he was bought by CSK.
In February 2022, he was bought by the Chennai Super Kings in the auction for the 2022 Indian Premier League tournament.
