India come into this Test on the back of 2-0 series win over Bangladesh wherein the visitors New Zealand were thumped fair and square by Sri Lanka in their Test series in the Island nation.

The BlackCaps have a change in guard with Tim Southee stepping down as captain and Tom Latham taking over the reins. Kane Williamson is a doubt for the 1st Test due to injury.

As for the Indian camp, Rohit Sharma's men face no injury concerns who sit atop the World Test Championship (WTC) table. India needs three more victories from their remaining eight Tests to seal a spot in the final.
