Darryl Mitchell’s big feat
Darryl Mitchell has batted very well in this series. He played an innings of 84 runs in the first match of the series. In the second match, he scored an unbeaten 131 runs and led the team to victory. Now Darryl Mitchell once again crossed the 50 run mark. Let us tell you, Darryl Mitchell has scored 50+ runs for the fourth consecutive time against India in ODI. With this, he has become the second Kiwi batsman to score the most consecutive 50+ runs in ODIs against India.
Kane Williamson is at the forefront of this list, who had scored 5 consecutive 50+ scores in 2014. At the same time, now Darryl Mitchell has reached second place in this list with 4 consecutive innings. Apart from these two players, no Kiwi batsman has been able to do this more than 3 times against India. The names of Glenn Turner, Stephen Fleming, Roger Twose and Ross Taylor are also included in this list. However, this veteran could achieve such a feat only in 3 consecutive innings.
50+ scores 6 times in 7 innings
Darryl Mitchell has scored 50+ runs 6 times in the last 7 ODI matches. He has a similar record against India also. In the last 7 ODI matches against India, he has scored 3 centuries and 3 half-centuries. This figure shows how dangerous Mitchell is proving to be for the Indian bowlers. His game against both spin and pace in Indian conditions, timely acceleration and handling himself under pressure are the biggest reasons for this.
