Among the scheduled series, they will face five ODIs in New Zealand, three matches at home vs Sri Lanka before they take on Zimbabwe. Meanwhile, they will play a couple more series, including the Asia Cup 2027, before the much-awaited event.As things are panning out, India are riding high on confidence, with the top order, especially the experienced duo of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, firing on all cylinders.
