Following a 2-1 defeat in the ODI series, India is keen to secure victory in the five-match T20I series against New Zealand. The visitors aim to leverage their experience in the subcontinent as they prepare for the T20 World Cup 2026, which begins shortly.
India's lineup will see the absence of Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill, who has struggled with form, failing to score a half-century in his last 17 T20I matches. Sanju Samson is expected to return as an opener alongside the dynamic Abhishek Sharma. The injury to Tilak Verma is a significant setback, but Shreyas Iyer's inclusion should provide both power-hitting and experience.
New Zealand, led by all-rounder Mitchell Santner, appears strong across all departments. Daryl Mitchell has been in excellent form, having earned the player of the series award in the ODI series, and will look to carry that momentum into the T20 format alongside teammates like Mark Chapman, Devon Conway, and Rachin Ravindra.
Don't miss the live action as these two cricketing giants refine their strategies ahead of the crucial T20 World Cup in February.
