After finishing the IND vs NZ ODI series, India will now take on New Zealand in a five-match T20I series. The first T20I will be played on Wednesday, January 21, in Nagpur. Notably, New Zealand come into this series with confidence after winning the three-match ODI series 2–1.

Now, both teams shift focus to the shortest format of the game as they prepare for next month’s T20 World Cup 2026.

India name a strong squad for T20I series vs NZ

Notably, India have named a strong squad for the T20I series, which is almost the same team they will use for the upcoming World Cup. 

However, Washington Sundar and Tilak Varma have been ruled out because of injuries. To cover their absence, Shreyas Iyer (for 3 matches) and Ravi Bishnoi have been added to the squad.

On the other hand, New Zealand have also brought back several experienced players who missed the ODI series due to rest or injuries. Key players like Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Jacob Duffy, and captain Mitchell Santner return. 

Meanwhile, Kiwis have added Kristian Clarke to their T20I squad for the first three matches of the series.

As both the sides gear up, let’s look at the India vs New Zealand head-to head records.
