Read MoreThe New Zealand Tour of India 2024 is set to be an exciting cricket series, with India hosting New Zealand for three Test matches starting from October 16, 2024. Team India, fresh from dominating Bangladesh, will look to continue their unbeaten home Test series streak, which dates back to 2012-23. India has never lost a Test series at home to New Zealand, and the Black Caps have never won a Test series in India. This will be a significant challenge for New Zealand, who recently lost 0-2 to Sri Lanka.
Led by Tom Latham, New Zealand will be missing their star batter Kane Williamson in the first match, while Tim Southee has stepped down from the captaincy. The series will be crucial for both teams as they aim to secure a spot in the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25. India currently tops the WTC standings, with New Zealand in sixth place.

The three Test matches will be played at iconic Indian stadiums. The series kicks off at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru from October 16 to 20. The second match will be held at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune from October 24 to 28, followed by the final Test at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, from November 1 to 5.
Head-to-Head:
India and New Zealand have a long-standing rivalry, dating back to 1955. India has dominated with 12 series wins out of 22, while New Zealand has claimed victory in six series. Of the 62 Test matches between these teams, India has won 22, New Zealand 13, and 27 matches ended in a draw.
