After some hard work and also following instinct we have enlisted 5 players to watch out for in the India Vs New Zealand world cup 2023 match.
Virat Kohli
First in the list is King Virat Kohli, who is back on his normal duties of torturing oppositions. He is looking very confident and hungry to score runs. The way he is batting in the tournament is cementing India’s chances to win the World Cup strongly. He scored his 48th ODI century in the last match against Bangladesh. And no one would be surprised if he equals the record of Sachin tendulkar’s most ODI centuries record in the next match against New Zealand. Beware Kiwis, the King is on the hunt.
Rohit Sharma
Next in the list is the Indian skipper, Rohit Sharma. He has scored 265 runs in 4 innings in the world cup so far. Rohit’s unbelievable striking could haunt New Zealand. But the main reason why Rohit is in this list is not only his batting but captaincy. The way he is leading the team is commendable. The perfect bowling changes and field placements are working in the favour of India. If his magic continues in the India Vs New Zealand match, there’s no stopping India from maintaining its winning run.

Matt Henry
Matt Henry could be the man from New Zealand camp who can bundle the Indian top order just like the World Cup 2019 semi final. Matt has scalped 9 wickets so far in this tournament at an impressive average of 18.00 only. His economy is also under 5. If he keeps on bowling like the way he is doing, he could be a big threat to the Indian batting lineup.
Tom Latham
Tom Latham is the stand out captain of New Zealand in the absence of Kane Williamson. Tom has led the team from front. His partnership with Glenn Phillips in the last match against Afghanistan was simply insane. He is the most experienced batter in the Kiwi team and this is going to be very helpful against a team like India. But the main reason why Tom Latham is a player to watch out for in the India vs New Zealand match is his stats vs India. Tom has scored 871 runs against India at an average of 54.44 with two brilliant centuries in the corner. Now you know why Tom could trouble India.
Jasprit Bumrah
If India has to win the match against New Zealand then the player who has the biggest role to play is Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah has been very effective in all the matches India played so far in the tournament. He is also the second highest wicket taker (9) in the Cricket World Cup 2023. Jasprit Bumrah could ask some difficult questions to New Zealand batters in the upcoming match. And if New Zealand comes unprepared for him, Bumrah is gonna leave no room for regret with his accuracy and wicket taking abilities.
These were the 5 key players to watch out for in the India Vs New Zealand clash in the Cricket World Cup 2023. But you can’t keep your eyes off Mitchell Santner, Kuldeep Yadav, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Devon Conway and Trent Boult. The match will be played at HPCA, Dharamshala on October 22.
