Trent Boult names KL Rahul as key India batter for New Zealand Tests

Trent Boult has identified KL Rahul as the player India will rely on most during the two-Test series against New Zealand that begins on November 19. The former New Zealand fast bowler said Rahul's experience against seam movement will be crucial on the expected green pitches.

Boult also highlighted Yashasvi Jaiswal as another batter to watch. He warned that cold conditions and swing-friendly surfaces will test India's top order.

Rahul has shown strong form in recent domestic matches. India have not yet named their squad for the tour.
