In a masterclass of consistency and power, New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell etched his name into the record books today during the third and final ODI against India at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. Mitchell’s majestic 137 off 131 balls spearheaded the Black Caps to a formidable 337/8, but it was the sheer volume of milestones he reached that left the cricketing world in awe. Here is a breakdown of the historic records and milestones Daryl Mitchell achieved on Sunday, January 18, 2026.

The "India specialist"

Daryl Mitchell has become the ultimate thorn in the side of the Indian bowling attack. By reaching his century today, he achieved several feats that place him among the greatest names in the sport’s history.

  • Mitchell became the first player in ODI history to record five consecutive fifty-plus scores against India on Indian soil. His recent run against the Men in Blue reads: 130, 134, 84, 131, and 137*.
  • Mitchell now has four ODI centuries against India in India, the second-most by any visiting batter. He sits just one behind the legendary AB de Villiers (5). Remarkably, Mitchell has reached this tally in just eight appearances, compared to de Villiers’ eleven.
  • He is now the first New Zealand cricketer to ever score three or more ODI centuries against India in India.

    Consistency beyond compare

    Beyond his specific dominance over India, Mitchell’s broader ODI form has been nothing short of staggering since the start of 2023.

  • With his century today, Mitchell moved to 18 fifty-plus scores in ODIs since 2023. This saw him leapfrog the likes of Babar Azam and Pathum Nissanka, leaving only Virat Kohli (22), Shubman Gill (20), and Rohit Sharma (19) ahead of him in world cricket during this period.
  • Mitchell’s tally of 352 runs in this three-match bilateral series is now the highest ever by a New Zealand batter, surpassing the previous record held by Kane Williamson.
  • The record-breaking partnership

    Mitchell did not act alone. His collaboration with Glenn Phillips (106) was historic in its own right, dragging New Zealand from a precarious 58/3 to a position of total dominance.

  • Their 219-run partnership for the fourth wicket is the second-highest partnership for the 4th wicket or lower against India in ODI history. It falls just short of the 221-run stand between Kane Williamson and Tom Latham in 2022.
  • This marked the first time in ODI history that two New Zealand batters have scored centuries in the same innings against India.
