CHENNAI: At first glance, versatile New Zealand batter Daryl Mitchell’s ODI statistics make for great reading – 1,162 runs in 28 innings at an average of 50.52 and a strike-rate of 94.85. What makes the staggering numbers look even more impressive is the fact that the 32-year-old has played in every position from No. 3 to 7.
Put simply, Mitchell is New Zealand’s man with the blade for all occasions. The right-hander has owned the No. 4 spot in the Black Caps lineup in recent months and has been performing his duties to perfection in the ongoing World Cup.
