IPL 2018 auction: 5 biggest steals

#4 - Mitchell Santner (Chennai Super Kings): INR 50 lakhs

Mitchell Santner is only 25 years old and is already considered one of the best left arm spinners in the world. He is so good, he's considered the next Daniel Vettori. Whether or not he lives up to the name is another matter, but he has proven himself to be a very diverse bowler, capable of turning the ball in all different ways.

He even has his own type of off-spinning ball, the "mana ball", which has taken out many world-class players in recent times.

Santner is also a capable batsman, with a batting average of about 20 and a strike rate of 130, stats that are not bad for a man who usually takes up the number 8 position. Overall a great buy for the Super Kings. They were on fire at this year's auction.
