Mitchell Santner is presently a member of the Chennai Super Kings team in the current season of the Indian Premier League. However, as a New Zealand international player, he has not been a consistent presence for CSK this year and has been unable to secure a spot in the playing eleven for all matches.
It’s worth noting that Mitchell Santner has only played in three out of seven games for his franchise this season, and his performance has not been particularly noteworthy.
Although he has managed to secure three dismissals in these matches, he has yet to make a significant impact. Despite this, he may still be hopeful of making a strong return in the next game he is selected for.
During this season’s IPL, Simon Doull, a New Zealand commentator who is part of the commentary panel, made headlines for making an insensitive remark about Mitchell Santner. After the game between KKR and CSK, Doull spoke to the New Zealand cricketer and told him to “enjoy the night and carry the drinks well.”
Despite the seemingly friendly nature of their exchange, many fans were left feeling that Simon Doull’s comment to Mitchell Santner was insensitive and potentially hurtful. During their conversation, Santner responded to Doull’s remark by saying, “I’ll try, I’ll try.” The incident was caught on video and has since gone viral online.
