Daryl Mitchell says New Zealand’s historic triumph was built on calm decision-making under pressure and collective belief, as the visitors sealed their first-ever bilateral ODI series victory on Indian soil.
India threatened to nail a stiff chase of 338 with a key partnership between centurion Virat Kohli and Harshit Rana, but fell short once the stand broke in the series-deciding third game here on Sunday.
Mitchell admitted the pressure was real and praised his team’s composure. “They had a really good partnership and there was a lot of pressure, especially considering the nature of this ground, the surface and the size of the dimensions,” Mitchell, who scored 137 off 131 balls, said.
“I was really proud of how calm the group stayed and how clear the plans were in terms of how we wanted to operate,” he added.
