World Cup 2019: If every team could play a player from other teams, who would it be? 

#4 New Zealand - Shikhar Dhawan

New Zealand - Shikhar Dhawan

In the name of Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson, and Ross Taylor New Zealand have a reliable core group of players. While Corey Anderson and James Neesham are pushing for the all-rounder's slot, Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson are contending for the third seamer role. Trent Boult and Tim Southee form their pace bowling core with Sodhi or Santner taking up the spinner role.

But for Kiwis, the missing link has been their opening partner to Martin Guptill. The likes Colin Munro and George Worker were tested for the spot but none showed promise to take up the spot. If they could play someone from other teams, India's Shikhar Dhawan can be an apt choice. He has an exceptional record in ODIs in England and he can also make a left-right opening combination which in turn is an added advantage.
