India and New Zealand are ready to lock horns in the first Test of their three-match series, starting on October 16 at the famous Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. This clash marks a key encounter for both teams, with India looking to build momentum ahead of their Border-Gavaskar Trophy tour to Australia.

The Indian team, fresh from a 2-0 Test series victory over Bangladesh, will aim to maintain their winning streak. This series is crucial for India as they aim to solidify their top spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) standings. 

Meanwhile, New Zealand, led by Tom Latham, will be hoping to recover from their 0-2 series loss against Sri Lanka. The inaugural WTC champions are currently in 6th place on the points table, making this series an opportunity to climb higher.

However, weather conditions could play a big role in how the first Test unfolds.
