As Rohit Sharma and teamwork to assemble the team for the premier competition, Men in Blue will continue their preparations for the 2023 ODI World Cup, which is expected to be held at home later this year. The New Zealand team will see significant changes from that tour as players like Tim Southee and Kane Williamson are resting. Like India, New Zealand comes into the series off a 2-1 series victory in Pakistan. The team will be led by Tom Latham in the absence of the two.
When the series begins in Hyderabad, Rohit and company will try to get off to a winning start, and the visitors will try to do the same when they play the venue's first-ever limited-overs encounter. At the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, where the two previously clashed in Test matches in 2010 and 2012, India and New Zealand will square off for a third time.
