10 Batters who can attract big bids at IPL 2023 auction

4. Daryl Mitchell

Daryl Mitchell has been a consistent performer in the T20 circuit. He has featured in 149 games in the shortest format and scored 3149 runs at a strike rate of 132.70. He has been impressive for New Zealand as well and scored 786 runs in 41 T20Is at a strike rate of 139.11.

Rajasthan Royals drafted the 31-year-old for the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League. However, Mitchell did not find a place in the playing XI for the majority of the season. He got two chances where the Kiwi batter could only manage 33 runs at a strike rate of 75.00. The Rajasthan franchise was not inclined towards reinvesting in him for the next season and thus, released him from the squad.

The flamboyant batter has the experience of batting at most positions ranging from one to seven and thus offers flexibility to any batting line-up. Also, Mitchell has been in pristine touch this calendar year, having notched up 394 runs in 16 T20Is at a strike rate of 143.79. Moreover, he is more than handy with the ball. Therefore, he is an asset to any side and many IPL teams might bid for him at the auction.
