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

#2 Tom Latham

Dual role expected

The left-hander struck form in the second warm-up clash against the Board President's XI when he scored a match-winning 108 in Mumbai.

He might also take up the wicket-keeping gloves to render balance to the side, but his worth lies with his ability with the bat. He can switch gears easily and has the ability to not only absorb pressure when wickets tumble but also assert his supremacy when called upon to do so.

Also, New Zealand coach Mike Hesson believes that he is a good player against spin bowling and hence will be a crucial component in the middle overs.
