Though India will be a strong favourite, it will be interesting to see how the other teams are going to perform.The T20 format is such that no one can predict a winner, but everyone would love an underdog story. New Zealand is one team which has always put in remarkable performances without much noise. Let us see how they would go about their team selection in a bid to win an ICC trophy and show everyone that they deserve to be a champion side.

#1 Brendon McCullum (Captain)

Brendon McCullum is the leading run-scorer in T20Is and will be a major threat to all opponents

Here is one man who doesn’t need any introduction. Much loved for his power hitting at the top and friendly persona, Mccullum has a huge fan following in India. No one can easily forget his 158 in the opening IPL match in its first edition.

With tailor made conditions and plenty of experience in playing in the sub-continent, the onus will be on him as he leads an extremely talented side which has performed remarkably well over the past couple of years. He is the highest run scorer in T20 internationals and would want to prove why he is the best in the business.
