India v New Zealand, ODI series - 5 New Zealand players to watch out for

After a 3-0 drubbing in the Test series, New Zealand will now move to the limited-overs leg of their tour with some hope or resurrection. Their previous outing in India during the WorldT20 made everyone believe that. But, Kane Williamson and Co. were simply outplayed and couldn’t compete.

All they could do was to fight session after session and eventually return to the pavilion with soiled shirts. Test cricket is always mentally draining. The change of format will be refreshing for the Kiwis who will be seeking to revive their fortunes with the white ball. The ODI team has seen a couple of changes with specialists returning to the squad.

1.Kane Williamson:

Everyone thought New Zealand would be the toughest to beat for India ahead of the Test series. Kane Williamson would have also come with this optimistic thought. But, as it turned out, the entire series turned out to be a disaster for him.

It would be wrong to say that he failed terribly. In the first game, he made 75, then a stomach bug forced him to sit out of the second game at Kanpur. In the third Test, he made a return but failed to lift his team up.

Personally, he retained some honour. But, he failed as a skipper. The upcoming ODI series will be an opportunity for him to ease the pain of the Test series and regain confidence as a captain.
