"As I said, in some grounds, we will want bowlers who would bowl predominantly cutters and in some other ground, here the ball swings and there is bounce, Kyle will be deadly. "It's about complementing with skills and what brings to the group, obviously with bat he has skills about being a power player," Hesson justified the insane bidding of the young Black Cap. As far as the Indian pace bowling group is concerned, Hesson is looking at 'horses for courses' while picking between Navdeep Saini and Mohammed Siraj.
"Siraj is exceptional with new ball. He has ability to swing the new ball while Kyle will get that bounce and bring in different challenge. Saini has a little bit more pace and bowls a different length. They will be used in different phases of the game." Hesson was also pleased with the kind of form skipper Virat Kohli, who will be opening in the upcoming season. "I think Virat is so experienced with what he does with RCB and he is going to bat at the top of the order. Its a position , he knows well. He is in fine touch. "I thought the way he played in T20s against England and how he controlled the tempo, on his day when he does for RCB." On uncapped Indian players, Hesson mentioned the names of Rajat Patidar of MP and Mohammed Azharudeen of Kerala as the talents to look out for.
