India vs New Zealand 1st T20I live streaming: How to watch IND vs NZ cricket match live?

The 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia may have gotten over just a few days ago, but preparations are underway for the next edition of the tournament in 2024, to be hosted by West Indies and the United States of America.

Just days after their semi-final exit from the T20 World Cup, some Team India members touched down in Wellington ahead of a limited-overs series against the Black Caps.

In New Zealand, India will play three T20Is and as many ODIs over the next two weeks.

Hardik Pandya, who has been considered by many as an able future skipper, will captain the Men in Blue in the T20I series, while Shikhar Dhawan will lead the side in the ODIs.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been rested for this tour following a hectic cricketing season, so this series will provide an opportunity for youngsters to step up.

Sanju Samson has been on and off the Indian team, and he finds himself in the squad for both the T20I as well as the ODI series.

Other notable youngsters in the batting department include Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan. Suryakumar Yadav, or SKY as he is called, will look to carry on his positive form from the T20 World Cup.

Surya scored 239 runs from six T20 World Cup matches, registering three half-centuries. He ended up as the tournament’s third highest run-getter, behind Virat Kohli and Netherlands’ Max O’Dowd.

India’s bowling department is a mix of experience and youth. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the most experienced bowler in the side, followed by the duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav.

Young Arshdeep Singh has been a promising sign for Team India, and he retains his place in the squad, while Umran Malik, synonymous for his fiery pace, has also been included.

VVS Laxman will fill in as coach for the series, replacing Rahul Dravid, who has also been given a break after the T20 World Cup.
