India vs New Zealand 2016: 5 reasons why the Kiwis can win their first series in India

#4 Close catching/Fielding

A very confident slip cordon

Even when New Zealand did not have world beaters in their team, they always prided themselves on their fielding. This legacy has been passed on and now the team is replete with players who can turn any game by the freakish abilities on the field.

Close catching becomes paramount in Test matches, and this is where the Kiwis are brilliant. Ross Taylor, Martin Guptill, Jimmy Neesham and Kane Williamson patrol the slip and gully cordon and are dazzling in what they do.

The out fielding is also no pushover and even their fast bowlers are genuine athletes who are superb across the turf. In this day and age, fielding is an absolute must, and no team can hide of they have mediocre fielders.
