India National Cricket Team vs New Zealand National Cricket Team Matches: After dominating Bangladesh at home, the India national cricket team would look to extend that good form when they take on New Zealand in a three-match Test series. Rohit Sharma and his men will, on expected lines, be brimming with confidence, especially after the dominant show they put up against Bangladesh. The win over Najmul Hossain Shanto and his men in the Kanpur Test, which lost two whole days of action due to rain and wet outfield will be remembered for a long time to come and once again, India proved why they are such a dominant force in the longest format of the game, especially at home.

New Zealand in contrast, enter this series on the back of a humiliating whitewash against Sri Lanka. The Black Caps were completely outplayed by a spirited Sri Lanka cricket team, which won both Test matches in the series pretty emphatically. India will prove to be a tougher opposition and the Black Caps will have their task cut out if they are to upstage the current ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 leaders. The fact that star batsman Kane Williamson has been ruled out of the first match due to a groin strain is going to be a big blow for New Zealand as they seek to find his replacement for the Bengaluru Test.Ā IND vs NZ 2024: 'We Play With a Bit of Freedom and No Fear in Tests Against India', Says New Zealand Captain Tom Latham.

The last time New Zealand had toured India for a Test series was in 2021/22 when the Men in Blue had won the two-match affair 1-0 after the first Test, played in Kanpur, was drawn. The IND vs NZ 2nd Test, which was played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai drew a lot of attention because of Ajaz Patel's 10-wicket haul in the first innings. New Zealand had however, failed to carry on that momentum from that sensational bowling show and lost the match by 372 runs.
