Big Paycheck Moment Will Stick To Us For Rest Of Our Lives: Daryl Mitchell
When New Zealander Daryl Mitchell was bought for a whopping Rs 14 crore by Chennai Super Kings during the IPL 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. His family kept the domestic chores aside and remained glued to the television. In the space of few minutes, the 32-year-old secured a life-changing paycheck at the auction held in Dubai on Tuesday. "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 Black Caps ever purchased in the 15-year history of the IPL, level with Kane Williamson and behind only Kyle Jamieson, who was picked up by Royal Challengers Bangalore for Rs 15 crore in 2021.
