India favourite to clinch the ODI series vs. New Zealand

Team India is due to commence its visit to New Zealand under the captaincy of the seasoned campaigner, M S Dhoni. The visitors will commence the five ODI series from January 19, 2014, at Napier. They will face the grassy tracks which will be the strength of the Kiwis but the tourists are capable of producing wonderful results. Taking in view the previous track record of the Men in Blue along with their batting and bowling strength, they will grasp the series.

The entire batting line up of the visitors will revolve around Virat Kohli who has the quality of demolishing any type of bowling across the globe. Though they have the services of the young guns like Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina along with the ever reliable Dhoni but Kohli will most likely be the highest run getter for the Blue Shirts.
