The India vs New Zealand ODI series live streams will start off 2026 with a bang. The top two men’s 50-over teams in the world by ranking, the sides should serve up a veritable feast of six-hitting and fearsome bowling. You won’t want to miss a ball.<\/p>\n

Indian fans were delighted with the news that captain Shubman Gill has recovered from the neck spasm that meant he missed the recent South Africa series and will resume leadership duties. The skipper is joined by vice-captain Shreyas Iyer, who hasn’t played a competitive fixture since October after picking up a spleen injury on the tour of Australia and experienced pair Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Top fast bowler Mohammed Siraj also returns after sitting out Australia, but Hardik Pandya gets a rest to manage his workload before the upcoming T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

New Zealand have also rested a number of players for the T20 leg or their limited-overs tour of India. Regular captain Mitchell Santner’s groin injury is being managed, so Michael Bracewell will again skipper the side, while Matt Henry is also rested and Kane Williamson absent with SA20 commitments to attend to. That means a chance for some fresh faces, as uncapped bowling-allrounder Kristian Clarke, left-arm<\/a> spinner Jayden Lennox and India-born leg spinner Adithya Ashok all receiving callups. Fast bowlers Kyle Jamieson and Zak Foulkes will provide the dynamite.<\/p>\n

A rerun of the Champions Trophy 2025 final \u2013 one of seven ODIs in a row India have emerged victorious over the Black Caps \u2013 the 1st match of the series is guaranteed to be a cracker.<\/p>\n
