Mitchell made his IPL debut for the Bengaluru-based franchise in the 2022 season, following that he could play only 2 matches, in which he scored 33 runs. In the 2023 season, the 32-year-old failed to take part in the tournament after suffering an injury.
On the other hand, in the 2024 season, Ravindra will make his debut in the T20 tournament.
CSK's preparatory camp began on March 2, with the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Mukesh Choudhary and Prashant Solanki joining the camp at Chepauk.
