New Zealand batsman Daryl Mitchell has dismissed criticism of the Black Caps' sportsmanship during their World Cup semi-final loss to India. He defended the team's approach to the game and emphasized that it reflects their values. Several New Zealand players assisted India's Virat Kohli, who faced cramps while scoring a century, by checking on him and helping him stretch during the match. Mitchell defended the team's actions, stating that their approach is a source of pride for the Black Caps and New Zealanders.
