New Zealand: The Indian team is currently playing a two-match Test series with Bangladesh on its home soil. After this this team is going to host the New Zealand team. These two formidable teams will face each other in a three-Test series.

The upcoming series is going to be very important for both the teams in order to reach the final of the World Test Championship. Today in this article we are going to predict how India's 15-member squad will fare in the first test against the Kiwi team. Let us discuss it in detail.

Team India's schedule against New Zealand

India and New Zealand (IND vs NZ) will play a three-match Test series next month. The Board of Control for Cricket in India had already announced the programs for the upcoming series. Let us tell you that the first match will be played in Bengaluru on 16 October. The second Test will be organized in Pune on 24 October. The third and last Test match of the series is going to be played on November 1 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

The command of the team will be in the hands of Rohit Sharma

The next challenge before Team India captain Rohit Sharma will be to take India to the final of the World Test Championship. However, it is not going to be that easy. For this, India will have to defeat teams like New Zealand and Australia along with the Test series against Bangladesh.

There is every expectation that the Hitman will be in command of the Indian team in the Test series with the Kiwis next month. He has been playing this role continuously for the last three years.

These players can get a big opportunity

The real test of Gautam Gambhir, who recently became the head coach of Team India, will be during the Test series against New Zealand. It remains to be seen whether he can lead the Indian team to victory under his guidance or not. India's 15-man squad in the first Test of the upcoming series may remain almost the same as it was during the Bangladesh Test series. It is noteworthy that Gauti does not believe in making many changes. He likes to play cricket continuously with a team.

India's probable squad against New Zealand:

Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad. Siraj, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Yash Dayal.
