5. Ish Sodhi
Despite an average start to his Test career, there was something about leg-spinner Sodhi that kept him in the frame.
In Brendon McCullum's farewell ODI series against Australia and the World T20, Sodhi showed signs of improvement as he spun the ball considerably, making it difficult for batsmen to hit him.
His exploits with the white ball have brought him back in the spotlight and even coach Mike Hesson has marked him one for the future.
The India series will be a test of Sodhi's character and if he succeeds, then the Kiwis will have their spin problems sorted out across all formats.
