The New Zealand team has failed to win the T20 series on Indian soil for the past 11 years. In the year 2012, the Kiwis last won the series on Indian soil. New Zealand then defeated India 1-0 in the two-game series. Since then, every time the New Zealand team came to play the T20 series on the tour of India, they had to suffer. In the year 2017, New Zealand played a three match T20 series on Indian soil, which India won 2-1. And in the 2021 series, Team India whitewashed the Kiwis 3-0.
The Indian team’s T20 record at the CEJA International Stadium in Ranchi is very strong. Team India is unbeatable on this ground in T20 so far. India has played three matches in Ranchi which they managed to win. The Indian team have beaten Sri Lanka, Australia and New Zealand on this ground. At present, the Indian T20 team is in great shape. It won’t be easy for New Zealand to stop their winning campaign.
