IPL 2024 Auction: Big paycheck moment will stick with us for rest of our lives, says Daryl Mitchell
The HinduWhen New Zealander Daryl Mitchell was bought for a whopping Rs. 14 crore by Chennai Super Kings during the IPL 2024 Auction, he was wrapping presents for his daughter’s birthday at his home and his heartbeat increased when his name popped up on the screen. “It was obviously a pretty special night for us as a family, sitting here with my wife watching the whole auction,” Mitchell said, according to local media. “To see your name come up and then to go through that whole experience is definitely something that will stick with us for the rest of our lives.” Mitchell became the second-most expensive New Zealand player ever purchased in the 15-year history of the IPL, going level with Kane Williamson and behind only Kyle Jamieson, who was picked up by Royal Challengers Bangalore for Rs. “But having been through the auction before and going unsold, it was a pretty special night last night to experience that.” He said the eye-popping sum will help set up his family in many ways.
