5 New Zealand players who can pose a threat against India

Trent Boult

Mitchell Santner

The 24-year-old all-rounder has made massive strides in his short career so far. Indian fans will remember him with a frown, as he was the wrecker-in-chief during India's first match against New Zealand Nagpur in the 2016 World T20.

As a left-arm slow bowler, he can certainly turn the ball, but his biggest asset is his ability to bowl wicket to wicket, a trait which is paramount on slow and turning pitches in India.

Apart from this, he is a handy middle-order batsman and has shown tremendous temperament with the bat in Test cricket. He does not have flattering numbers with the bat, but with the raw talent and potential, there is no reason why he cannot be one of the finds for New Zealand in the upcoming series.
