Best Batsmen from Team India for the New Zealand series

Although Team India is filled with quality batters, Let’s have a look at Indian batsmen to watch out for the T20I series:

Rohit Sharma

There’s no about the ability of Rohit Sharma as a batter. With him being named as the T20I skipper for Team India it’s a no brainer that his responsibility will be on his head and with the onus on him he’s as dangerous as anyone. The fierce Indian opener has an extravagant number in T20Is and is certainly the player to watch out in the series.

Here are his numbers:

T20I matches	Runs	Strike Rate	100s
116	3038	139.61	4

KL Rahul

Indian T20I vice-captain and opener KL Rahul will also be the batter to watch out for the series against New Zealand. The right-handed batter has only risen in ranks and with his ability to score at a faster rate, he can take the game away from the opposition in a few overs.

Here’s a look at his T20I numbers:

T20I matches	Runs	Strike Rate	100s
53	1751	143.29	2

Suryakumar Yadav

In the absence of Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav is likely to bat at No.3 in the series against New Zealand. His ability to play shots 360 degrees makes him the player to watch out for in the upcoming series. Though he has played only 8 T20I matches there’s no doubt about his skills. He can be the X-factor for Team India in the series.

Here’s a look at his T20I numbers

T20I matches	Runs	Strike Rate	50s
8	181	163.06	2

Best Bowlers from Team India for the New Zealand series

In the absence of senior bowlers, the onus will be on the younger bowlers to make their team win. Let’s have a look at Indian bowlers to watch out for the T20I series:

Harshal Patel

Harshal Patel received his maiden call-up for the national side on the back of his staggering performance in the IPL 2021. The right-arm pacer was the proud owner of the purple cap with 32 wickets to his name. With his ability to trouble batters at the death, he’s certainly a bowler to watch out against New Zealand

Here’s a look at his T20 numbers:

T20I matches	Wickets	Economy
116	138	7.96

Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal was dropped from India’s T20 World Cup squad. However, he would be eager to stage a dominant comeback in Indian colours. With him being the second-highest wicket-taker for India in the T20Is, he’s can well be the bowler to watch out for Team India against New Zealand

Here’s a look at his numbers:

T20I matches	Wickets	Economy
49	63	8.32

R Ashwin

R Ashwin proved in T20 World Cup 2021 that he can be a dangerous bowler as anyone even in the white-ball format. Even though India was out of the World Cup early, Ashwin was the biggest positive for them. He can trouble New Zealand batters in the T20I series and can be a potential threat for them.

Here’s a look at his T20I numbers

T20I matches	Wickets	Economy
49	58	6.86

Head to Head record

The T20I series between India and New Zealand is expected to be a blockbuster clash as both teams have some quality players on the side. Both the sides have faced each other 17 times in T20Is with both winning 8 matches each and one match ending in no result. It remains to be seen if new skipper Rohit Sharma along with new head coach Rahul Dravid can lead Team India to the series win or not.
