Mitchell "Mitch" Owen is a dynamic Australian all-rounder who operates as a destructive right-handed batter and a handy right-arm medium pacer. He burst onto the global radar following a phenomenal 2024-25 campaign in the Australian domestic circuit which earned him his maiden call-up to the Australian national team, making his T20I and ODI debuts in 2025. Owen's entry into the Indian Premier League (IPL) came mid-season in 2025 when the Punjab Kings (PBKS) acquired him for ₹3 Crore as an injury replacement for his compatriot, Glenn Maxwell. While his debut 2025 season was limited to a single appearance, the PBKS management heavily backed his immense power-hitting ceiling and retained him again for the 2026 campaign
