At Tuesday’s IPL 2024 auction in Dubai, Chennai Super Kings paid Rs. 14 crore to sign New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell.
Before DC withdrew, the Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings engaged in a protracted bidding war. Following a protracted wait, CSK entered the race and subsequently engaged in a back-and-forth with PBKS, which ultimately withdrew.
Ben Stokes, an English all-rounder who was released by CSK prior to this auction, may be replaced by Mitchell. Stephen Fleming, the head coach, had different ideas. Fleming remarked, “He (Stokes) played just one game, so not massive shoes.” “Daryl is a different kind of player, but this kind of price is justified by his performance over the last 18 to 24 months.” He is an underappreciated player who stays out of the spotlight. He is a skilled bowler and a competitive player because of his spinning ability. We can fit him into a role in Chepauk. He is a good buy for us and fits in well, just like his performances.”
