As for the New Zealand tour, India had clean swept the Kiwis in the 5-match T20I series, however, the BlackCaps made a comeback in the ODIs by winning it 3-0.

The action now shifts to Test cricket and the Indian side, which is ranked No. 1 in this format, will look to kickstart their overseas campaign in the World Test Championship on a positive note.
