CSK Head Coach Stephen Fleming: Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming finds Daryl Mitchell a “completely different type of player” and rates him higher as an all-rounder and a good replacement for England all-rounder Ben Stokes in the squad.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) bought Mitchell for a whopping Rs 14 crore after entering the fierce bidding battle late after Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings fought out initially in the second round of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction.

Mitchell, who was formerly associated with Rajasthan Royals, became the focal point as the auction battle between Delhi and Punjab escalated.
