Pitch Report:
Green Park has hosted 4 Test matches in this century. It’s more of a batting-friendly surface, where even spinners will get assistance as well. The pacers won’t get much support here. Toss plays a crucial role here.
Head-to-head: India has played 60 Tests with New Zealand having won 21 times, losing 13 and 26 clashes have been drawn. At home, team India has a massive edge over the Kiwis as they have beaten them 16 out of 34 times, losing only twice. 16 of those matches ended in a draw. Speaking of the last three encounters, New Zealand has won all three including the biggest Test in June this year.
