Team India arrived at Hyderabad for the first test against New Zealand, which starts from August 23.
The first Test will miss the likes of VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid, who retired from international cricket. Laxman retired on Saturday and Dravid in March, earlier this year.
New Zealand, on the other hand, will look to put India under pressure when the two teams clash for the first cricket test beginning Wednesday.
Despite the series loss in the West Indies this month, captain Ross Taylor and new coach Mike Hesson hope their team would bounce back and try to pressurize the hosts.
Ross Taylor said his side was looking forward to the challenge.
On the retirement of Dravid and Laxman, he said they can't be replaced.
