Since the start of this decade, four batters have scored 2000-plus ODI runs at 55-plus averages. It's a measure of how good India have been in this time that three of them are Shubman Gill (66.01), Virat Kohli (55.55) and KL Rahul (55.25).
The other batter in that group, with an average of 57.36, is India's foremost scourge, Daryl Mitchell.
This won't surprise anyone, because a) you came here after clicking on a headline with his name on it, and b) he's been bossing ODIs for far too long for you not to have noticed.

But Mitchell is exactly the kind of player you might not have expected this sort of career from, the career of an all-weather Test-and-ODI middle-order colossus. To put it crudely, he doesn't look like that sort of player - a Martin Crowe or a Kane Williamson, to name two of his compatriots, or indeed a Gill or a Kohli.
Here's one way to measure whether a player looks the part. Since the start of this decade, the batters who have hit the most fours in ODIs with the cover drive are Gill (101), Shai Hope (77), Aiden Markram (63), Kohli (62) and Pathum Nissanka (62). Not all five have enjoyed careers entirely commensurate with their talent, but all five came into international cricket tipped for greatness. They just looked the part.
Among the ODI batters of this decade, Mitchell is the joint 88th-most-prolific hitter of cover-driven fours, with just 17. That's one cover-driven four for every 175 balls he has faced in ODIs. Gill hits one every 35.6 balls.
Mitchell isn't a silky cover-driver. Instead, as you might expect from someone raised on the hard, bouncy pitches of Western Australia where he spent many of his formative years, he is a wonderful puller of the ball, and one of those rare batters with the ability to hit hard lengths down the ground.
What Mitchell didn't have growing up was much of an ability against spin. When he began his first-class career at Northern Districts, his team-mate Mitchell Santner - who now captains him in New Zealand's white-ball teams - made this clear to him.
"I guess he won't mind me saying this, but when he [Mitchell] first came over [from Australia], he wasn't a very good player of spin," Santner said on Tuesday, the eve of New Zealand's ODI-series-opener against India in Auckland. "And I told him that and I was all over him [with my left-arm spin].
"But I think he's one of those guys, he's gone away, he's worked hard, he's added a few more shots to his repertoire, and he gets in the fight, which we love. Other teams might not love it as much, but we do."
Mitchell still doesn't look like a natural player of spin, and certainly doesn't fit the stereotype of the nimble mover with deft wrists. But only Gill (234) has scored more runs than Mitchell (217) while stepping out to spinners in ODIs in this decade, and only Gill (24) has hit more sixes through this route than his 21.
And he hasn't just mastered one way of attacking spin bowling. Only Netherlands' Scott Edwards (428) has scored more ODI runs against spin with variants of the sweep and reverse-sweep in this decade than Mitchell's 335. And Mitchell averages a ridiculous 111.66 while playing these shots.
Little wonder, then, that he's been such a force against India. Four of his nine ODI hundreds have come against them, including back-to-back innings of 131* and 137 that led New Zealand to a come-from-behind 2-1 win in January, the last ODI meeting between these sides. That series win was New Zealand's first in a bilateral ODI series in India.
On Wednesday, New Zealand will begin their quest to complete a home-and-away double over India in the same year. They will begin this quest at Eden Park, in the shade of a billboard that went up on the eve of the series.
"This isn't cricket," the billboard says. This is cinema." At its centre is Mitchell, helmet doffed to reveal that bald, bearded roar so familiar to India's despairing fans.
