NZ vs IND: 3 player battles to watch out for in T20I series

After a confidence-boosting series win against Australia at home, now Indian fans await the tour of New Zealand. Team India has travelled halfway across the globe and has arrived on New Zealand shores yesterday.

We take a look at 3 player match-ups that can be exciting and might as well decide the outcome of the T20 series starting from Friday.

Rohit Sharma Vs Tim Southee
In the absence of his partner Trent Boult, Tim Southee is set to lead Kiwi bowling attack against strong Indian batting lineup. And his eyes will be firmly looking at Rohit Sharma as his prime target. New Kookaburra does not swing for long but an encouraging thing for Southee will be that breeze in New Zealand sometimes help the ball to move in the air after pitching.

Only weakness (If at all) in the game of Rohit Sharma is to start against fourth stump channel when the ball is moving. And Southee knows home conditions better than anyone. This has all the ingredients to be a mouthwatering prospect for the fans.
