Overview
- Mitchell Santner, who linked up with the Mumbai Indians camp on Thursday in Delhi, is likely to be available for the April 4 match at Arun Jaitley Stadium.
- Santner missed the opener after head coach Mahela Jayawardene approved a short period of personal leave following his international duties.
- England all-rounder Will Jacks remains on extended leave with no confirmed return date.
- His arrival strengthens Mumbai's spin attack and offers lower‑order batting cover, which could be valuable on Delhi's slower surface.
- Santner was retained for INR 2 crore after taking 10 wickets in 13 IPL 2025 games, and he recently captained New Zealand to the T20 World Cup final in March.
