#3 Ross Taylor
A veteran amongst the young prodigies in the team, Ross Taylor can lend experience to the young team. Taylor, who is no stranger to Indian conditions will also be one of the lynchpins of the batting order.
He has the game to counter the Indian spin-bowling attack, and can also counter-attack to combat the turning ball if the need maybe.
His numbers in Asia are pretty decent too. In 28 innings, Taylor has scored 1055 runs at an average of 39.07. This includes 6 half centuries and 3 centuries.
Also, his record against India is not too bad either, as he has scored 659 runs in 16 innings, with an average of 41. He has 3 centuries and 1 half-century to his name.
A certain factor going into this series.
