After breaking a billion hearts multiple times in ICC tournaments, New Zealand will come to India after the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 to compete against the Indian cricket team. It will be a short tour, but it will be a very important one for the Men in Blue. 

This series will mark the first time that former Indian cricket team captain Rahul Dravid will be in the dressing room as the full-time head coach of the team. Also, Virat Kohli will step down as the T20I captain after the T20 World Cup 2021. So, a new skipper will lead the Men in Blue against New Zealand. 

The Kiwis will not be at full strength. Their star fast bowler Trent Boult has opted out of the tour because of bio-bubble fatigue. Also, Lockie Ferguson got injured during the T20 World Cup. So, it will be interesting to see how the Kiwi pace attack lines up for the Indian tour.
