Top 5 New Zealand players to watch out for in the upcoming series against India

The explosive hard-hitter could prove to be dangerous if not outed early

This flamboyant opener is a strong performer in limited overs cricket, especially in 50-over matches. He averages 43 in ODIs but is yet to make a mark against India. He has a high score of 237* in ODIs, which he notched against the West Indies in the 2015 World Cup.

Given his talent, this could well be his series, and the Indian bowlers need to keep him in check by bowling tight deliveries from the get-go.
