New Zealand Tour Of India 2021: The New Zealand National Cricket team visited India towards the end of 2021 for a T20I and Test series. The NZ tour of India 2021 comprised of three T20Is and two Tests. The New Zealand tour to India 2021 began with the three-match T20I series.
It was Rohit Sharma’s first T20I series as the permanent captain. In the Test series, Ajinkya Rahane led the team in the first game before Virat Kohli returned for the second Test. For New Zealand, Tim Southee was the captain in the T20Is in Kane Williamson’s absence. Williamson missed the second Test too due to an injury and was replaced by Tom Latham as the captain.
India whitewashed New Zealand in the T20Is. They won the first T20I match by five wickets,[15] and won the second match by seven wickets to win the series with a match to spare. The Men in Blue won the third game by 73 runs. The first Test ended in a draw before India won the second game by 372 runs despite New Zealand’s Ajaz Patel becoming only the third bowler to take all ten wickets in an innings.
