New Zealand aren't pushovers and here are 5 stars to watch out for in the World Test Championship final vs India
Trent Boult
Trent Boult with a new ball in English conditions is a nightmare for any batsman. With express pace and ability to swing the ball both ways, Boult slays with a smile. The 31-year old’s 77 Tests have yielded 281 wickets including 8 fifers and a ten-wicket haul.
Ross Taylor
Ross Taylor has been one of the pillars of New Zealand's strong batting lineup has scored the most runs for the Blackcaps in the longest format. 37-year-old Taylor, who is in the final stage of his career, may not have won a World Cup but a World Test Championship crown would be a massive feather in his cap.
Tim Southee
Another veteran in the Kiwi ranks who has always troubled India is Tim Southee. Southee was India's nemesis the last time Kohli's men were in the Kiwi land. In the 2-match Test series last year, Southee emerged as the highest wicket-taker with 14 scalps.
Tom Latham
Tom Latham's ability to drop anchor will come in handy in Southampton. He has faced the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Ishant Sharma as well. In the last Test series vs India, he scored the most runs for New Zealand and averaged over 40.
Kane Williamson
At number 1, not just on this list but also in ICC Test rankings for batsmen, is skipper Kane Williamson. Without a doubt, he is one of the most dependable modern-day players in whites and Team India bowlers have already made it clear that they wish to get rid of King Kane early on. He already has the most Test hundreds for the Kiwis and averages a healthy 54 in 144 innings.
