After the heartbreak in the T20 World Cup semifinals, India and New Zealand will be looking to build up to the 2023 ODI World Cup, but first, they will take on each other in a three-match T20I series, followed by a three-match ODI series.
Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and other big names have been rested for the T20I series, and Hardik Pandya will be leading a young-looking Indian team against Kane Williamson's New Zealand.
The last time Team India toured New Zealand for a T20I series back in 2020, they registered a 5-0 clean sweep. Can Pandya inspire the young Indian side to a similar result, or will the Kiwis tame the Men in Blue? Only time will tell.
