Daryl Mitchell, a batter, played two IPL seasons for two franchises.

The arrival

Daryl Mitchell arrived through the auction: Rajasthan Royals paid ₹75 lakh, the base price.

That first season brought 2 matches and 33 runs. The best was still to come.

The peak

The high point with the bat was 2024, for Chennai Super Kings: 318 runs at an average of 28.9, striking at 142.6 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 150.6, with 2 fifties, and a highest score of 63.

Franchise by franchise

2022, Rajasthan Royals. Bought at the 2022 auction for ₹75 lakh. 2 matches and 33 runs.

2024, Chennai Super Kings. Bought at the 2024 auction for ₹14 cr. 13 matches, 318 runs and 1 wicket.

2023 is missing from the record: a season without an IPL appearance.

How the runs came

Across the career, Daryl Mitchell struck at 131.5. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 147.9, so Daryl Mitchell scored about 16 runs per hundred balls slower than the typical batter of the time. 49% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 28 fours and 10 sixes.

The fielding record: 11 catches.

At the auction

Daryl Mitchell went under the hammer five times, bought twice and left unsold three times. The highest price was ₹14 cr, paid by Chennai Super Kings in 2024, more than 14 times the base price. The price climbed with the reputation: ₹75 lakh in 2022, ₹14 cr by 2024. Unsold in 2023, Daryl Mitchell was bought again in 2024 by Chennai Super Kings.

Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.

The legacy

Daryl Mitchell made 15 IPL appearances, the last for Chennai Super Kings in 2024.
