IPL 2023: 10 Underrated players who can earn big at auction
IPL 2023 auction is scheduled to be held on December 23 in Kochi.
6. Daryl Mitchell
Daryl Mitchell has been a regular feature for the Black Caps in the shortest format. The 31-year-old has played 41 T20Is and scored 786 runs at a strike rate of 139.11. Also, he is quite handy with the ball and bagged seven wickets for his national side.
Rajasthan Royals picked the Kiwi all-rounder at the 2022 mega auction to add depth to the side. The Hamilton-born made two appearances for Sanju Samson & co. and could only score 33 runs. He was not given a longer run and got dropped from the side. RR decided against retaining the flamboyant batter for the 16th edition of the cash-rich league.
Mitchell has been prolific with the bat in the T20Is this calendar year, having amassed 394 runs in 16 matches at an impressive strike rate of 143.79. Further, he gives versatility to any side with his ability to bat both at the top and in the middle order.
Besides his batting skills, the Kiwi cricketer provides a useful medium-pace option to the side. With the New Zealand all-rounder up for grabs at the upcoming auction, many franchises could try to add him to their squad.
