#2 Trent Boult

For many years, Southee was New Zealand’s go-to bowler in crunch situations. However, in recent times, the focus has shifted from Southee to Trent Boult. Boult has been actively involved in all formats of the game for last 3 years.
Like many other Kiwis, Boult is a bowler who has got a big heart; he is always ready to give his best on the field. He possesses all the skills that are required to make a complete bowler.
His 54 Tests, 66 ODIs and 25 T20Is have seen 215, 122 and 37 wickets respectively. Boult is deadly with his intimidating pace when the conditions are offering some swing.
In 7 Tests since 2017, he has picked 42 wickets at 22 apiece. Boult has been in phenomenal form in ODI cricket too, picking 49 wickets from 25 games. In the shortest format, he has 22 wickets to his name from 14 games.
New Zealand are truly blessed to have a fast-bowling duo like Boult-Southee.
