Key Players:
Analysis: The Blackcaps played quality cricket in the Kanpur Test and will hope to sustain the momentum in order to outplay the hosts. Tom Latham and Kane Williamson are the top batting picks from the side with the former being a bankable captain choice. Will Young’s innings in the first Test makes him a smart pick for anyone's fantasy team. From the bowling end, Tim Southee and Kyle Jamieson are the best picks and can guarantee to fetch some fantasy points.
With regular skipper Virat Kohli returning to the team, it’ll interesting to see who will make way for him in the upcoming game. Shreyas Iyer had a remarkable Test debut, scoring a ton, followed by a half century in the second innings, making him a must-have in one’s fantasy team. Besides, all-rounders Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja can contribute in both batting and bowling, resulting in more fantasy points, considering their current form.
