Born on February 24, 1991, Mitchell has proven himself as a versatile player with exceptional batting and bowling skills.
Mitchell's journey into international cricket began in February 2019 when he made his T20I debut against India.
Although limited opportunities followed, Mitchell made a significant impact when he was called into New Zealand's Test team in late 2019 as a replacement for the injured Colin de Grandhomme.
In his maiden Test innings against England, Mitchell displayed composure and skill, scoring an impressive 73 runs.
He also showcased his bowling prowess with good control on a sluggish surface at his home ground in Hamilton.
The year 2021 proved to be a breakthrough year for Mitchell.
He demonstrated his ability to perform under pressure, scoring his maiden Test century in a match against Pakistan in Christchurch.
His contribution with the bat continued in the ODI format, where he notched his first ODI century later that year.
Mitchell's impact was not limited to the longer formats of the game.
During the 2021 T20 World Cup held in the UAE, he was given the opportunity to open the innings for New Zealand.
Mitchell rose to the challenge and played a vital role in guiding his team to the final with an unbeaten 72 against England in the semifinals.
Though New Zealand experienced a disappointing tour of England in 2022, Mitchell remained in top form throughout the summer.
He notably scored two fifties and three centuries, including a magnificent 190 at Trent Bridge.
His consistent performances and ability to adapt to different formats have solidified his position as a valuable asset to the New Zealand cricket team.
Mitchell's cricketing journey began with his first-class debut at the end of the 2011-12 season.
His consistent performances in domestic cricket earned him recognition, as he averaged an impressive 54.53 in the following year.
Initially considered a middle-order batsman, Mitchell's skills as a seam bowler became an added asset to his game over the years.
His talent did not go unnoticed, and Mitchell was selected for the New Zealand A squad to tour India and Sri Lanka.
Although he faced challenges during the tour, he responded in spectacular fashion by scoring successive centuries in the following domestic season.
An unbeaten knock of 170 against Canterbury just before the England series further cemented his position in the national team.
Beyond his cricketing abilities, Mitchell comes from a sporting pedigree.
His father, John Mitchell, is a former New Zealand rugby union player and coach.
At the time of Daryl's Test debut against England, his father held the position of defense coach for the England rugby union side that reached the World Cup final.
