The five-match T20I series between India and New Zealand turned out to be a topsy-turvy affair. While India sealed the series by winning the first three matches, the Kiwis finished strongly by registering consecutive wins. Now, the stage is set for a highly-anticipated five-match ODI series between the two behemoths of world cricket.

The preceding T20I leg of the tour saw India claim the series, though New Zealand fought back to win the final two matches and make it a competitive finish. As attention shifts to the 50-over format, three bowlers stand out as ones to watch across the five games.

Gurnoor Brar is part of India's squad for the ODI series and arrives with 14 wickets from nine ODIs at an economy rate of 7.17 and a strike rate of 34.71. The 26-year-old right-arm pacer has the ability to beat batters for pace, and his economy figures reflect that he has largely bowled in batting-friendly conditions so far. However, New Zealand pitches are expected to offer seam movement and bounce. There is a strong case that those conditions could bring out the best in Brar and make him a key weapon for India across the series.
