India and New Zealand are playing their fourth limited-overs series of the last two months. After New Zealand welcomed India after the T20 World Cup in December for two heavily rain-affected series – India taking the T20I series and the hosts winning the ODI leg of the tour. India also then dominated the ODI series in India 3-0.

Hardik Pandya has resumed India’s T20I captaincy with Rohit Sharma not playing in the series, and Rishabh Pant’s absence continues after he was involved in a car crash last month. Shubman Gill starred in the ODIs with two centuries, including a record-breaking double hundred, he is set for selection in the T20I side as well.

New Zealand will be captained by Mitchell Santner as both Kane Williamson and Tim Southee sit out the series to manage their workload. In Trent Boult’s continued absence from international cricket, New Zealand will turn to Ben Lister to fill the gap in their bowling department. The left-arm seamer has yet to make his international debut but has impressed in the Super Smash, where he has showcased the range of variations he has at his disposal.

After the first match at Ranchi on January 27, the tour will move to Lucknow for the second match on January 29 before finishing with the final match at Ahmedabad on February 1.
