Daryl Mitchell IPL 2024 Team: Which team is New Zealand batsman playing for in IPL 2024?

During the IPL 2024 mini-auction held at Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena on Tuesday, December 19, New Zealand batsman Daryl Mitchell fetched a staggering INR 14 Crore bid from defending champions Chennai Super Kings.

With a modest base price of INR 1 Crore, Mitchell’s availability sparked interest from Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, and Chennai Super Kings.

The bidding war initially involved Delhi Capitals but concluded swiftly, leaving CSK and PBKS in contention. As the stakes rose, PBKS eventually withdrew from the intense battle after Chennai Super Kings escalated their bid to INR 14 Crore, securing the Kiwi batter’s services.

Ultimately, Mitchell landed in the ranks of the defending champions, CSK, following a competitive auction tussle that saw his value soar significantly.
