Indian batsmen prepare for New Zealand tour with strong past records

Summary

India's cricket team is set to tour New Zealand from October 22 to November 27, 2026, with fixtures including five T20Is, five ODIs, and two Tests. Key batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have noteworthy past performances, with Kohli scoring 596 runs at an average of 49.66 in ODIs in New Zealand. However, many players in the current squad, including Shreyas Iyer, have limited experience in this venue. Iyer leads the T20I squad, which features several batters making their debut in New Zealand. The first T20I match will kick off the month-long tour, followed by a mix of formats culminating in two Test matches.
