After the T20I series, India are also scheduled to play three ODIs and two Tests against the 'Black Caps'.
Team India are set to take on New Zealand in their home turf after successfully beating Australia in a three-match ODI series earlier this month.
The 'Men In Blue' landed in Auckland on Tuesday (January 21) with a mostly unchanged squad except for Shikhar Dhawan, who is missing from the lineup due to his shoulder injury.
The 34-year-old picked up the injury during India's third and final ODI against Australia.
It's most likely that KL Rahul will come in as an opener along with Rohit Sharma and will also be keeping the wickets for Team India during the T20I series.
Indian head coach Ravi Shastri took to social media to share a group-self with batting coach Vikram Rathour, bowling coach Bharat Arun and fielding coach R Sridhar.
The coaching crew looked like they had a fun day out in the streets of Auckland just before the series opener.
"Breathe easy Auckland. New Zealand - with @coach_rsridhar," Shastri captioned his post on Twitter.
