IND vs NZ Key Player Battles to Watch

Abhishek Sharma vs Mitchell Santner

Abhishek Sharma likes to attack from the start and use his bottom hand to clear the leg-side boundary. Mitchell Santner's ability to vary his pace could test the opener's shot selection.

Glenn Phillips vs Mayank Yadav

Glenn Phillips is a powerful hitter who uses his strong wrists to target the leg side and punish short deliveries. Mayank Yadav could challenge him, especially if the Indian pacer targets the body and keeps the ball away from Phillips' hitting arc.

Ishan Kishan vs Jacob Duffy

Kishan is an aggressive left-hander who likes to attack fast bowlers in the powerplay, particularly through the off side. Duffy's ability to swing and seam the new ball could draw Kishan into playing away from his body.
