But Mitchell&rsquo;s knock did not prove to be enough as Kohli anchored the chase to take India home in 48 overs. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s a world class player and he&rsquo;ll go down as one of the greats of the game for a reason.
&ldquo;A very good knock under pressure I thought and although he didn&rsquo;t get 100, he got his team across the line,&rdquo; Mitchell said after the four-wicket loss on Sunday.
Mitchell praised New Zealand&rsquo;s bowling effort and said the conditions got better for batting under lights.
&ldquo;Look at us as Kiwis, we&rsquo;ll just keep throwing punches, we&rsquo;ll keep trying different things and we&rsquo;ll keep trying to take wickets.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m just really proud of our bowling unit tonight and how they tried to do that for periods of time and in conditions which probably got better with the dew with the wicket.&rdquo;
