Daryl Mitchell Declares Fitness for New Zealand's Clash Against India

Daryl Mitchell has confirmed his fitness for New Zealand's crucial Champions Trophy match against India after recovering from illness, having missed the previous game against Bangladesh. Both teams are unbeaten and have secured spots in the semi-finals, with the match in Dubai determining the group leader. Rachin Ravindra performed impressively in Mitchell's absence, scoring 112 runs, which has complicated coach Gary Stead's selection decisions. Mitchell expressed excitement about returning to the field, noting the team's depth and ability to adapt to game situations. The match is highly anticipated as it will shape both teams' paths in the knockout stages of the tournament.
