India vs New Zealand 2017: Rating the Indian cricketers after T20I series

Spinners

Chahal made a crucial impact in the third T20I and helped India clinch the series

Yuzvendra Chahal - 9/10

The leg-spinner is quickly developing into a go-to bowler for Virat Kohli in limited-overs cricket. Chahal finished with three wickets in the T20I series but it is not just the wickets that are making him an important part of the side. In the third T20I, he went wicketless, but his two overs went for just eight runs and while India were defending a modest total, that proved to be the difference and helped India claim the series.

Kuldeep Yadav - 6/10

Although he played just one match, Kuldeep Yadav still managed to make an impact. In his only over, he got rid of the set Glenn Philips and it was during his over that Williamson was run out as well. While he conceded 10 runs, in the context of the game, the two wickets proved to be crucial as India got over the line.
