(Lower-middle Order)

Rishabh Pant (India)

Rishabh Pant started his innings in Hamilton with 4,6,6.  This is what he promises to deliver and barely gives second thoughts when he’s coming in. He failed in the first game, but did a pretty good job in the other two and is an automatic selection in the team.

Daryl Mitchell (New Zealand)

Ball striking with brute power has been one of the most attractive features of this series, but despite having the ability to do the same, Daryl Mitchell shined with the ball as well.  Despite the fact that he only managed to score 28 runs in the series, he was successful in taking 4 wickets as well. He impressed one and all with his spell of 2/27 in the series-decider as it decided the fate of the hosts.
