Amit Mishra, the 39-year-old leggie, did not find any takers at the recently-concluded 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) auctions, held on February 12 and 13 in Bengaluru. Soon after, Delhi Capitals (DC) co-owner Parth Jindal congratulated Mishra on Twitter for his immense contributions over the years towards the franchise, and made it clear that DC would love him back again for his valuable insights.
To one of the greats we would like to salute everything you have done for us over all these years and would love to have you back at DC in whatever capacity you see fit as your insights would be most valuable. Mishy bhai DC is yours for life

Mishra, while acknowledging Jindal’s message, asserted that he is not done with cricket yet and the door was always open for the team if they ever needed his services.
Thanks for the kind words & your acknowledgment of my services for the team. I am truly humbled! But, I am not finished yet and can easily add to the legacy of …only if DC needs me! I am always in their corner.
