Daryl Mitchell grabs No.1 spot in Men’s ODI batting rankings after stupendous run

Dubai, Jan 21 (UNI) New Zealand batter Daryl Mitchell has dislodged Virat Kohli to regain the top spot in the ICC Men’s ODI Batting Rankings after an outstanding run in the three-match series against India which the visiting side won 2-1 to clinch their first ever ODI series in India.
Mitchell capped the series with a career-best 137 in the final match in Indore and was named the Player of the Series after he finished with 352 runs, the most by a visiting batter in a series of three or fewer games in India.
Mitchell, who had scored 84 and 131 not out in the first two matches, is now at a career-best 845 rating points, the second best by a Kiwi batter after Glenn Turner’s 854 in June 1983.
