Following another missed chance at an ICC event, Team India is set to start the new season with a three-match T20I series against New Zealand. With Rohit Sharma rested, the Men in Blue will be led by Hardik Pandya. After their humiliating defeat in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup, India will be looking for redemption. England were crowned champions of the T20 World Cup due to their fearless style of play. India will be looking to adopt a similar approach under Hardik Pandya.
VVS Laxman will be taking over as acting head coach for the white-ball tour of New Zealand as Rahul Dravid has been given a break. Laxman has his task cut out. He will have to instil belief in the side after the disappointing T20 World Cup result. Team India will also play a three-match ODI series. Veteran opener Shikhar Dhawan will lead the team in the 50- over format. It’s going to be a packed month of back-to-back cricketing action.
