New Zealand have had the upper hand over India in the 50-over format recently, having won three out of the last four bilateral series between the two sides. India last won an ODI series in New Zealand back in February 2019, and have since lost two. They will be keen on putting up an improved show this time.

The focus also shifts towards Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. The superstar duo would be looking to get into the groove quickly. Apart from them, India’s new-look fast-bowling attack will also be among the talking points, while some of their Test regulars will also step out after the first three matches.

New Zealand, meanwhile, are struggling with injuries to key players. They were already without Mark Chapman and Rachin Ravindra for the series, and Devon Conway has now been ruled out of at least the first ODI after a nasty collision with Matt Henry in training.

All five matches of this ODI series will get underway at 3pm local time (7:30am IST, 2am UK time).
