From being go-to reserve to MVP of series, tale of Will Young

WILL Young doesn't get to put on his Black Caps Test cap as much as he would like to. For the longest time, he has been New Zealand's go-to reserve batter.

He still is. Despite being a part of the squad, Young has played only 19 of the 33 Tests New Zealand has played since his debut.

But the good thing about him is that he is very much aware of it. That is why, whenever he gets the chance to don that Black baggy cap, Young does everything in his power to savour the experience. Sunday was one such day. Young had just finished the post-match presentation at the Wankhede Stadium where he won the Player of The Series as New Zealand completed a historic 3-0 victory against India. He walked into the press conference hall, switched his Black Test cap for a training cap and sat down to take some questions.
