From CricArcade's IPL records, 2019 to 2026 · Sources

Mitchell Santner, a bowler, has played seven IPL seasons for two franchises. One title came along the way.

The arrival

Mitchell Santner's first IPL season was 2019, with Chennai Super Kings, a signing made outside the auction.

That first season brought 4 matches, 32 runs and 4 wickets at 6.64 an over.

The peak

The best season was 2025, for Mumbai Indians: 10 wickets at 7.92 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 9.48, with best figures of 3 for 11.

Franchise by franchise

2019 to 2024, Chennai Super Kings. 18 matches and 15 wickets; champions in 2023.

2025 to 2026, Mumbai Indians. Bought at the 2025 auction for ₹2 cr. 17 matches and 15 wickets.

2 spells with two franchises in all. The longest was with Chennai Super Kings, 2019 to 2024. 2021 is missing from the record: a season without an IPL appearance.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 30 wickets in 688 deliveries, at 7.50 runs an over against a league rate of 9.01 for the same seasons: 1.51 an over cheaper than the typical bowler of the time, the mark of a bowler who kept things tight.

35.1% of the balls Mitchell Santner bowled were dots, a higher share than 51% of the 150 bowlers with 500 balls or more; a wicket came every 22.9 balls.

The fielding record: 14 catches and 3 run-outs.

At the auction

Mitchell Santner has gone under the hammer three times. The highest price was ₹2 cr, paid by Mumbai Indians in 2025. The price climbed with the reputation: ₹50 lakh in 2018, ₹2 cr by 2025. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Chennai Super Kings in 2018.

Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.

Where it stands

Mitchell Santner has made 35 IPL appearances, the latest for Mumbai Indians in 2026.
