5 New Zealand players who can pose a threat against India

Ish Sodhi

On slow turning tracks, wrist spinners pose more threat than any other bowlers. Also, leg-spinners are out and out match-winners on their day, and this is why Ish Sodhi can become one the big threats in this series.

The leg-spinner has become a much-improved bowler now and is a much more confident player in the Kiwi ranks. Also, his partnership with Mitchell Santner has become a potent one for New Zealand.

Sodhi who earned a recall to the Test team after a 2-year long hiatus made immediate impression against Zimbabwe in which picked up eight wickets in the two Tests at an average of 24.87.

He was also one of the driving forces behind New Zealand's impressive show in the 2016 World T20 in India. The Ludhiana-born lad can certainly surprise many on this tour.
