The Indian cricket team, led by Virat Kohli, arrived in Auckland on Sunday afternoon as they prepare for their three-week tour in New Zealand.
The number two ranked one-day side in the world begin their five-match ODI series against the Black Caps in Napier on Wednesday, which is followed by three Twenty 20s.
Strong crowds are expected throughout the tour as India make their first visit to New Zealand since 2014.
Under the inspiration captaincy of Kohli, India recently won their first-ever bilateral ODI series in Australia. Earlier, they had won their maiden Test series in Australia in 71 years and 11 attempts after levelling a three-match T20I series 1-1 on a highly-successful tour Down Under.
On the other hand, New Zealand decimated the Sri Lankans at home. They won the two-match Test series 1-0, swept the three-match ODI series 3-0 and won the one-off T20I to end the series on a high.
