India vs New Zealand 2017: 5 Indian players to watch out for

#2 Shikhar Dhawan

Back after a break

The Delhi man was in sublime form in the limited overs format, before he took a break from the Australian series for personal reasons.

He is back in the mix and will walk out to face the new ball, but will be aware of the form Ajinkya Rahane displayed in the Australian series where he scored four consecutive half-centuries.

Dhawan looked neat in the T20 match and would want to carry his form into the upcoming series, which in many ways could establish him as India's primary opening batsman along with Rohit Sharma.
