India won their last home series against New Zealand 2-0 in 2012
#3 Ajinkya Rahane vs Neil Wagner
Trending
India’s unsung hero Ajinkya Rahane has been a terrific performer for India in white clothing scoring heaps of runs in every condition. At the beginning of his career, Rahane played a lot of overseas Tests and scored centuries in England, Australia and New Zealand before returning to India to score twin centuries in the 4th Test against South Africa in 2015. His ability to adjust under any circumstances makes him a vital member of the Indian side for their upcoming home season.
The South African-born left-arm quickie has been an integral part of the current New Zealand set up and has the ability to take wickets even in unfavourable conditions which make him a vital prospect for the Kiwis. In the initial stages of his career, Wagner was more of a new ball bowler but has added reverse swing to his repertoire to become a complete bowler.

About the author
Arya Sekhar Chakraborty
Arya is a cricket journalist with around 8 years of experience who writes informative listicles and is in charge of text commentary at Sportskeeda. He is a graduate in Journalism, Psychology, and English, and has previously worked for websites such as CricTracker, SportzWiki, Cricket Addictor, Cricfit, OneCricket, and Cricket Exchange. His vast experience has led him to know the pulse of his readers and he cross-checks information from a number of credible sources before writing a single word for their sake.
A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.
Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman. He has also translated a couple of Bengali cricket books, and made Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-match videos.
He likes to spend time with his family and binge on web series during his spare time.
