Virat Kohli Pushes Daryl Mitchell Out Of Boundary Line After Dismissal in IND vs NZ 3rd ODI [WATCH]

Daryl Mitchell played a scintillating knock in Indore to register his second ton of the series.

Imagine being so good, that you have to be pushed out of the boundary line by Virat Kohli after being dismissed. Daryl Mitchell is on a run-scoring spree against India, as he registered his second century of the three-match ODI series in the third ODI in Indore.

New Zealand were pushed on the backfoot by Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana in the initial overs of the first innings, and they were reduced to 5/2 inside two overs. However, a superb 219-run partnership between Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips provided New Zealand with the platform to launch.

Both Mitchell and Phillips got centuries, with the No.4 batter scoring 137 off 131 deliveries with 15 fours and three sixes. The duo soaked the pressure after the dismissal of Will Young with the team score on 58, and then started accelerating at the right time. However, Virat Kohli’s send-off to Daryl Mitchell had everyone in splits.

"2026 is showing us Virat Kohli’s funniest side! 😂"

"He’s telling Daryl Mitchell to get out now, like 'Alright bro, you've hit enough, time to go home!'.
