Player Of Match QuoteDaryl Mitchell | Player of the Match: It's really nice to get the win. We haven't won here for a couple of years now. Nice for a younger group to see that you can challenge some of the best in the world. (purple patch against India) I'm just enjoying doing my job for my country. I love playing for New Zealand and any time you get the chance, it's pretty cool. Youngy, he's a class player, and I love batting with him. It was good fun out there. We had a bit of fun, but we also enjoy getting into the contest as well. So, I thought the way he went about his business, especially against the seam-up top early, it looked challenging. And then, he enjoyed the spinners and using all his options. It was good fun batting in the partnership and nice to get a big partnership as well. (Was it a plan to go after Kuldeep?) I think he's one of the best bowlers in the world. He can turn it both ways. He's got amazing skills. For us, it's trying to read situations and adapt to different situations. And we knew, with the balance of their bowling attack, that he's going to be a massive bowler for them. Trying to find ways to put pressure on him. I think he is one of the best in the world and he's had a lot of success. (how satisfying to be out there during the winning moment) That's my job as one of the senior batters on the side, is once you get in, you want to make the most of it and help us win games of cricket. So, it's always nice.
