India vs New Zealand 2017: 5 player battles to watch out for

#2 Indian wrist spinners against New Zealand's middle order

The spin duo will have a crucial role to play

One of India's biggest success stories against Australia was the efficiency of the wrist spinning duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav, both of whom complemented each other to apply the brakes on Australia's charge whilst also picking crucial wickets in the middle orders.

In NZ's previous tour of India in 2016, Amit Mishra tormented the batsmen, and with two wrist spinners this time around, the going will not get any easier.

However, New Zealand's middle order comprises the likes of Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor and Colin Munro amongst others who have enough experience to tackle spin.
