The slow left-arm orthodox bowler impressed everyone with his bowling in the tournament. In the first match of the tournament, he bowled a match-winning spell picked up four important wickets against host India in Nagpur.

The 24-year-old ended the tournament as the joint highest wicket-taker. It was not just his wicket taking ability but his overall game play which made him a dangerous spinner and an instrumental member of the Blackcaps team.

He picked up 10 wickets in 5 matches at an outstanding average of 11.40 and with a super economy rate of 6.27. He always kept the batmen guessing and kept on varying his pace and length in the tournament.
