Buckle up, Paltan! #TeamIndia is back in business! 🤩

And what better way to kick off 2026 than a white-ball showdown against New Zealand on home soil?

The Men in Blue are set to host the Kiwis in the first international series of the year, featuring three ODIs and five T20Is, promising non-stop action, big moments and pure entertainment.

Adding to the buzz, the beloved pair (yes, we all know who 😉) are back in action & ready to light up the field once again. Safe to say, goosebumps are guaranteed. 🫶

The timing couldn’t be sweeter. With the T20 World Cup title defence just around the corner, Surya दादा & Co. are locking in their rhythm, sharpening their edge and setting the tone early with a 5-match T20I series vs the Kiwis. 

Speaking of momentum, the Men in Blue have been on a roll, winning bilateral after bilateral, marching forward with intent and confidence. The mission remains unchanged: dominate, entertain and keep the winning habit alive. 👊🏆

But make no mistake, the Kiwis never come quietly. Known for their grit, discipline and big-match temperament, New Zealand will be eager to test India’s firepower in conditions where every contest counts.

Two white-ball heavyweights. Eight high-octane games. One cracking start to the year.
This one’s got unmissable written all over it. Let’s gooooo… 🔥💙
