Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Till late 2014, Sodhi was persisted with in red-ball cricket before the Kiwi selectors decided to axe him. The domestic performances had shown that he was a much better bowler in the shorter formats, perhaps one made just for those. In the latter half of 2015, he made his ODI debut. Since then, he has been a part of the limited-overs squad. The 2016 World T20 was a defining moment for him as he, along with Mitchell Santner, impressed one and all throughout the tournament. The duo's sterling performance against India on a raging turner was the most talked about thing then. It also provided a new lease of life for Sodhi who decided to focus more on white-ball cricket.
Sodhi, as the name suggests, comes from a family with Indian roots. They had shifted to New Zealand where the young Ish pursued his cricketing fortunes from a tender age. A wrist spinner is always a tempting proposition, particularly in today's modern era where most pitches are batting friendly. Add to it the two new balls in 50-over cricket which has made life hard for the finger spinners. Sodhi, however, didn't let the off-field expectations get to him and focussed mainly on developing consistency in hitting the right lengths. Thanks to the backing of selectors and his experience of playing several T20 leagues - Sodhi continues to remain a key player of the Kiwi set-up.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
There is little in Ish Sodhi's statistics to suggest he is an international-quality legspinner, but New Zealand's selectors have seen enough in his aggressive approach and keen attitude to hand him a Test debut after only one full season of first-class cricket. Known chiefly for the turn he generates and the flight he fearlessly trusts, Sodhi's journey to top-level cricket has been a triumph of determination over significant odds.
Born in Ludhiana, in the Indian state of Punjab, Sodhi began his cricket in south Auckland, where his parents had migrated in his youth. Papatoetoe High School is not renowned for its cricket, and perhaps as a result, Sodhi had trouble establishing himself in regional representative teams, and may have also been a victim of Auckland's pitches that provide little aid to spin bowlers, and captains who are not versed in how to use them.
Undeterred, Sodhi left school early and a training stint with Dipak Patel and Matt Horne was when his career finally got some traction. A move to Northern Districts allayed the frustration of not being able to displace the spinner in the Auckland side, and after an encouraging 2012-13 season, Sodhi earned a trip to the subcontinent with New Zealand A, which cleared the path to the New Zealand side.
