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

New Zealand
A squad which has all bases covered

#2 Captain Kane

Kane Williamson
Kane Williamson is a critical cog in the scheme of things

Brendon McCullum was all about bravado and ultra aggression, and he certainly did transform the complexion of the team. Thus, when the baton passed on to Kane Williamson, there were concerns as to how the team will adapt to the new skipper.

Kane is cheese to Brendon's chalk, and yet he has forged a very tight unit around him. Also, he has given enough glimpses of his ability as a reader of the game and a tactician during the World T20 which was played in India on sluggish and turning tracks when he devised impressive ways to lead his team into the semi-finals.

While he may not be as brash as Brendon, he knows what he is doing and quietly goes about his business. He is an extremely affable guy who plays for his team and thus the team responds beautifully to its captain.
