New Zealand Tour of India 2026 Full Schedule, Date, Time, Venue, TV Channels, Live Stream.

India hold the stronger overall record. They’ve historically dominated at home, while New Zealand have been more stubborn on their own soil. India’s win percentage sits comfortably higher, helped by long unbeaten home stretches.

Bilateral series in India
India dominate almost every time the Black Caps tour. Spin, slower pitches, and packed stadiums tilt the odds.

Big individual records
– Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have piled up mountain-range numbers against NZ in white-ball cricket.
– Trent Boult and Tim Southee have been India’s recurring headaches, especially with the new ball.
– Kane Williamson is New Zealand’s most reliable scorer against India across formats.

These two sides have built a rivalry based on contrasting styles—India’s batting depth and spin craft against New Zealand’s disciplined pace battery—which makes each new tour feel like a fresh chapter rather than a repeat.
