Virat Kohli‘s India are coming off a historic tour of Australia where they drew the T20Is and won the Tests and ODIs. New Zealand are a much better team than Australia and coping with their pace attack will be the most visible challenge for India, apart from having to bowl to a stronger batting lineup headlined by Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor and Martin Guptill and with several power-hitters included
