The Kiwis have always been blessed with some of the best players there are in the world of cricket. They have always had fast bowlers in their line-up.
In recent years, Trent Boult has been a consistent player for a young New Zealand side and has impressed fans around the globe with his tremendous speed and the ability to take wickets quickly.
Last year, Boult played for the Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) and didn't fail to impress the Delhi fans. Boult was retained by the Capitals for the 2019 season. He finished with 18 wickets last season and will be a top candidate to clinch the Purple Cap this year.
