&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Mitchell Josef Santner&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (born 5 February 1992) is a New Zealand international [[cricket]]er and current captain of [[New Zealand national cricket team|New Zealand Cricket team]] in limited overs cricket. Domestically, he plays for [[Northern Districts men&amp;#039;s cricket team|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 [[List of New Zealand Test cricket records#Highest wicket partnerships|highest 7th wicket partnership for New Zealand in Tests]]. Occasionally he plays golf as well.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/360680435/black-caps-captain-mitchell-santner-best-golfer-other-sports |title=Black Caps captain Mitchell Santner the best golfer from other sports |work=Stuff |access-date=8 December 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He was a part of the New Zealand squad to finish as [[2019 Cricket World Cup final|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.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2024-12-18 |title=Mitchell Santner: New Zealand pick spinner as white-ball captain |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/articles/c77j6ggk4p2o |access-date=2025-03-10 |website=BBC Sport |language=en-GB}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last=Um-E-Aymen |first=Babar |date=9 March 2025 |title=Champions Trophy 2025: India beat New Zealand by four wickets in tense final in Dubai |url=https://www.skysports.com/cricket/news/12123/13324931/champions-trophy-2025-india-beat-new-zealand-by-four-wickets-in-tense-final-in-dubai |work=[[Sky Sports]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Santner was elevated towards the [[New Zealand national cricket team|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 Cricket World Cup|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 [[New Zealand cricket team in England in 2015|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 County Cricket Club|Somerset]]. He was handed his [[One Day International]] debut at [[Edgbaston Cricket Ground|Edgbaston]] having played just 19 [[List A cricket|List A]] matches for Northern Districts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In November 2020, Santner [[List of New Zealand national cricket captains#Twenty20 International captains|captained New Zealand]] for the first time in an international fixture, leading the team in the third [[Twenty20 International]] (T20I) match [[West Indian cricket team in New Zealand in 2020–21|against the West Indies]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/1918904 |title=No Southee, Taylor, Jamieson as New Zealand aim for clean sweep |work=International Cricket Council |access-date=30 November 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He did so again in the first T20I match against [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=Debutant Jacob Duffy and Tim Seifert the difference as New Zealand guts it past Pakistan|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/new-zealand-v-pakistan-2020-21-1233950/new-zealand-vs-pakistan-1st-t20i-1233959/match-report|access-date=2020-12-19|work=ESPNcricinfo|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[IPL 2018|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 [https://www.thequint.com/sports/cricket/csks-mitchell-santner-to-miss-ipl-2018 injury].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=PTI |date=2018-03-14 |title=CSK&amp;#039;s Mitchell Santner to Miss IPL 2018 |url=https://www.thequint.com/sports/cricket/csks-mitchell-santner-to-miss-ipl-2018 |access-date=2024-05-16 |website=TheQuint |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Between 2018 and 2024, he was playing for CSK.

&lt;br /&gt;
On 27 November 2015, Santner debuted in his first Test match against [[New Zealand cricket team in Australia in 2015–16|Australia]], becoming the first player in history to make his test debut in a day/night test match.
