India vs New Zealand 2017: 5 Kiwi players to watch out for

#3 Martin Guptill

A match-winner by all means

This series may well be a showdown between two prolific openers against the white ball. While Rohit Sharma has established himself as one of the marquee openers, Guptill is not too far behind.

He had a very quiet ODI series last year and would love to reverse his fortunes this time around. He bats at the top of the order and on his day, has the ability to tear apart any bowling attack.

New Zealand would want him to set the tone early in the match and in the series because if Guptill is in form, half the job is done!
