The recently concluded mega auction for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 edition produced many shocks and surprises as multiple big names from the game of cricket ended up without having a team for the IPL 2022 edition.
Veteran spinner Amit Mishra is one such example who did not get a team at the mega auction. And after Mishra remained unsold, Delhi Capitals (DC) owner Parth Jindal took to Twitter and congratulated Mishra for his contributions towards the franchise. The DC owner also said that his team will “love to have” him back at DC.

Mishy bhai DC is yours for life,” Parth Jindal had tweeted.
Acknowledging Jindal’s message, Mishra shared his tweet and wrote that he “is not finished yet” and he “can easily add to the legacy” of Delhi Capitals franchise.
