3. Ross Taylor:
Perhaps, he is the most underrated cricketer ever. Ross Taylor is such a class, who can take the game away with his fantastic batting display in the middle. Having made his debut on the domestic circuit during the 2002-03 season, he slowly emerged as a reliable batsman for Central Districts across formats.
The 2005-06 season is what propelled his career upwards with a national call up coming in early 2006 for home ODIs against Sri Lanka. He made an immediate impression, whacking his maiden century in the series to set the tone for his career.
A destructive player when on the song, Taylor is a pure matchwinner who can dismantle any attack, be it pace or spin. However, he does have his share of technical deficiencies but the hand-eye coordination the unorthodox strokes do make up for in a long way.
