He has also been a regular player at IPL and so is aware of the Indian conditions. <\/p>\n Martin Guptill:<\/strong> This cricketer can be one of the most dangerous batsmen on his given day. He failed to click at the longer format of the game, but in the shorter format, he is definitely a player to watch out for. His best came against Australia where he hit two half centuries. He will have to play some outstanding cricket if New Zealand has to beat India who have with star-studded players.<\/p>\n Mitchell Santner:<\/strong> He was the only player who could keep India at check in the longer format of the game.

He is a player who knows the Indian conditions. His performance of 4 for 11 in T20 World Cup reminds how dangerous he can be as a player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let us look at the players of the New Zealand squad who can make a difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26946,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[466,2952,6156,18447,559],"class_list":["post-29418","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-world-cricket-news","tag-indian-sports-news","tag-kane-williamson","tag-martin-guptill","tag-mitchell-santner","tag-ms-dhoni"],"yoast_head":"\nNew Zealand are all set to play the first ODI of the five-match series against India at Dharamsala.
