India National Cricket Team vs New Zealand National Cricket Team Match: India will take on New Zealand in a three-match ODI series and a five-match T20I series starting January 11, 2026. The matches will be played across Vadodara, Rajkot, and Indore. The series marks the return of veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who could be seen in India colours for the last time until July, as this is the team’s final ODI assignment before the T20 World Cup and the Indian Premier League.
Although the focus is shifting towards the T20 World Cup next month, the ODI series will be crucial for both teams. India will use the series to fine-tune its one-day combination, while New Zealand will get more time to adjust to subcontinent conditions ahead of the T20 event.
Head-to-head record:
India and New Zealand have met 120 times in ODIs. India has won 62, New Zealand 50, with one match tied and seven ending with no result. At home, India has a dominant record, winning 31 matches and losing eight, with one no-result.
