3 Indian players who impressed the most in NZ-A vs IND-A series
Devdutt Padikkal, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Auqib Nabi stood out with bat and ball across three drawn four-day matches in New Zealand.
3. Auqib Nabi
Auqib Nabi was the pick of India A's bowlers in the series, with his most telling contribution coming in the 1st unofficial Test at Lincoln. He claimed 3/69 from 18 overs in the first innings and followed that with 3/28 from 10 overs in the second, giving him six wickets for the match at an economy rate of 3.46. His second-innings burst on the final day reduced New Zealand A to 187/9 while chasing a target of 313, but bad light intervened before India A could take the last wicket and the match ended in a draw.
Nabi also contributed with the bat in that second innings, scoring 38 from 63 balls with 3 fours and 2 sixes. Nabi's part in the series was cut short because of his inclusion in India's ODI side, where he picked up his first international wicket in the second match in Hamilton.
