Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Mills, made his ODI debut against Pakistan in Sharjah in 2001. Mills created an impact in his second match itself against Sri Lanka, picking up 3/30 and sharing the Man of the Match award with Matthew Sinclair. He continued to be a consistent performer, but managed just one appearance in the 2003 World Cup in South Africa. An injury at the most unfortunate moment saw Mills miss out on the 2007 World Cup when he was at his peak. He made a fine comeback later on during that year against South Africa, taking a career best 5/25 in Durban.
In Tests, however, Mills, has a modest record. He has played a total of 19 Test matches for a return of just 44 wickets. Persistent injuries forced him to quit the longer format of the game after the 2009 home series against India. His 4 for 16 against England in Hamilton in 2008 turned out to be his best figures in Tests.
Mills was signed up by Punjab in the 2008 IPL auction and was later bought by the Mumbai in the 2009 auction. In 2009, he led New Zealand's bowling attack in the Chappell-Hadlee Series against Australia, picking up nine wickets at 20.33 and attained the No 1 spot in the ICC ODI Rankings. Later in November that year, he was again forced out of the team because of injuries. Injuries continued to act as a hurdle for the pacer and he was ruled out of the knock-out stages of the 2011 World Cup, following a quadriceps strain.
After remaining in the Mumbai squad for two seasons, Mills was not retained during the fourth edition of the IPL, eventually remaining unsold. His T20 aspirations did not suffer as he was signed by Middlesex as a second overseas registration for the 2013 T20 Cup. After New Zealand suffered a humiliating whitewash against Bangladesh, he was named the ODI captain in the limited overs series against Sri Lanka in November 2013 due to Brendon McCullum's unavailability. Despite not having a great time in the games that followed, Mills was included in the 15-member squad for the 2014 World T20. He had a forgettable tournament as he took only four wickets and eventually, New Zealand couldn't qualify for the semi-finals.
He played the first ODI against Pakistan in UAE in December 2014, but was forced to leave the tour because of a groin strain. The injury kept him out of action for a while, but he recovered in time to be picked for the 2015 World Cup.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Injuries at an inopportune time affected Kyle Mills's prospects of making a more significant start to his international career. While he was recovering, Shane Bond, Ian Butler and Jacob Oram seized their opportunities, making it harder for Mills to force his way back. In and out of the team after the 2003 World Cup in which he made only one fleeting, wicketless appearance - he marked another comeback, against Pakistan in 2003-04, by picking up a reprimand for excessive appealing. However, he did enough to earn a call-up for the tour of England in 2004, and made his Test debut in the third match at Trent Bridge. But he picked up a side strain during the game, and was forced to fly home and miss the NatWest Series. That was a shame, as one-day cricket is really his forte: he played throughout the 2005-06 season, chipping in with wickets in almost every game, even if his once-promising batting had diminished to the point that he managed double figures only once in 16 matches.
A feisty temper remained, though: Stephen Fleming had to pull him away from Graeme Smith during a bad-tempered one-day series towards the end of 2005. Mills returned to South Africa for the Tests early in 2006, and picked up eight wickets in the two matches he played, almost doubling his career tally. He played in the 2006 Champions Trophy, but his injury jinx struck again and he was ruled out of the 2007 World Cup with a serious knee problem. He returned to fashion a crushing 189-run Test victory over England in Hamilton in March 2008, but was later ruled out of the remainder of the series as his knee played up once again. He recovered in time to join Kings XI Punjab at the inaugural IPL, in early 2009, and led New Zealand's attack against Australia in the Chappell-Hadlee Series, in which he picked up nine wickets at 20.33, subsequently making his way to the No. 1 spot on the ICC ODI bowlers' rankings.
In November 2009, once again he was forced out of cricket, requiring shoulder and knee surgery. He made another comeback in mid 2010, only to fall prey to another injury half-way through the 2011 World Cup in the subcontinent - Mills was ruled out of knock-out stages of the tournament with a quadricep strain. Parallel to his injuries, his discipline issues persisted, and he picked up a couple of fines for breaching of the ICC code of conduct between 2009 and 2011.
