5 Indian batsmen who have scored the most runs in ODIs against New Zealand
India's tour of New Zealand starts on January 23. The Indian team will play five ODIs and three T20 matches there. This tour is important for team India because the World Cup is going to start a few months from now. This is the last foreign tour of Team India before the World Cup. In such a situation, they will not obtain a better chance of taking stock of their preparation. Often questions arise about Team India's middle order, but Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik, and Kedar Jadhav also delivered an outstanding batting performance in the ODI series. Apart from them, Team India's bowlers also performed brilliantly, especially Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yuzvendra Chahal.
This New Zealand tour of Team India is going to be important for those players who have not done something special in Australia's tour. Like Ambati Rayudu, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, and Khaleel Ahmed are some of those players who could not perform as expected in ODIs against Australia. If they have to establish a place in the team for the World Cup then they have to perform very well in matches against New Zealand.
