History of the India and New Zealand Test.
The New Zealand team toured India for the first time in 1955, when they faced a 2-0 defeat in the five-match Test series. Three games in this series were tied. After this, the New Zealand team came to India in 1965 and this time too they did not get a chance to win a single Test. Then India had defeated 1-0 in the 4 Test series. 3 tests were drawn. Then after 4 years i.e. in 1969, the Kiwi team toured India and this time they won the first test on Indian soil. This time New Zealand managed to draw the 3-match test series 1-1.
The last test series between India and New Zealand took place in November 2021. This series took place only on Indian soil, where New Zealand had to face a 1-0 defeat in the 2-match test series. If we look at the overall test series and match records, the Indian team seems to have the upper hand. But by winning the current series, New Zealand has dealt a huge blow to the Indian team.
