Probable Best Performers from IND vs NZ

Probable best batter: Shubman Gill (India):

The man in form lately- Shubman Gill has been producing sensational scores as he registered a double century (208 runs) in the 1^st ODI. The batter has been playing much more freely and has been able to obtain the scores just as his team would want him to. Gill will be on the lookout to get his side the vital runs once again when the Kiwis meet India in the 2^nd ODI.

Probable best bowler: Mohammed Siraj (India):

Like Gill, Siraj has been terrific with the ball as he has been getting the major breakthroughs every now and then. Furthermore, he added another four-fer in the last ODI and will aim to restrict the rival batters from producing a fight apart from getting the wickets.
