IND vs NZ 1st Test Preview

India are coming into this game on the back of a dominating show in the Test format against Bangladesh. After clean sweeping their Asian neighbours, India will be aiming for another clinical show in this series. With an eye on the WTC final, it will be essential for the Rohit Sharma-led side to keep themselves ahead of the competition with another dominating show in this series.

On the other hand, New Zealand have suffered a humiliating defeat in Sri Lanka before this series. The whole team struggled against the spinners during the tour and that resulted in a weak submission from the Kiwis. They will be looking to show more resilience and put on a better display in this series.
