India’s star cricketer Virat Kohli scored a historic century in India vs New Zealand World 2023 semi-final. Kohli scored 117 off 113 balls at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, his 50th ODI century. He has become the highest ODI century scorer in the world, surpassing the legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar (49). Kohli suffered from cramping during his century innings. As he looked more troubled by the cramp, some of the New Zealand players came to his aid.
However, the Kiwis faced criticism for helping Kohli. Former Australian all-rounder Simon O’Donnell objected to the behavior of the New Zealand players. He said that when Kohli was suffering from cramp and the Indian team was on its way to scoring 400 runs, then why did the New Zealanders come to help. In a match like a semi-final, sportsmanship should be shown by staying within the rules. Kohli was hurting your country and you were coming forward to help.
After the criticism of the Kiwi players over Kohli’s help, Daryl Mitchell has left everyone speechless with a strong reply. He says that as a team we prioritize this kind of empathetic behavior. The New Zealand batsman said that we want our children to behave in the same way. Let us tell you that in the semi-final, India scored 397/4 and bowled out New Zealand for 327 runs. India entered the final after winning by 70 runs. In this match, Mitchell played a strong innings of 134 runs in 119 balls with the help of 9 fours and 7 sixes.

“I think as the Black Caps (New Zealand cricket team) and as New Zealand players, that’s something we’re really proud of. That’s the way we want to play cricket,” Mitchell told reporters before his team left Mumbai late on Thursday. What suits us as a country and how we want our children to grow up and play sports themselves. For the way we live our day-to-day lives, not just on the field, but off the field as well.” He added, “That’s something we’re really proud of. We Black Caps will continue to do what we are doing. ”
