India vs New Zealand three-match ODI series will begin on January 11.
After a successful year in white-ball cricket, highlighted by two unbeaten title-winning campaigns in the ICC Champions Trophy and the ACC Asia Cup, India cricket team are set to kickstart 2026 with an eight-match limited-overs series against New Zealand cricket team.
Fans eager to watch the action unfold can find complete details of IND vs NZ live streaming in India, including TV channels, online platforms, match timings, and the full series schedule below.
The visitors will miss their white-ball skipper Mitchell Santner in the ODIs as the all-rounder is yet to recover from his groin injury. However, Santner will rejoin the squad before the T20I series, starting on January 21 in Nagpur. In his absence, Michael Bracewell will lead New Zealand in the one-day leg.
The Men in Blue will also be without two of their prime players, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, as the BCCI continues to manage their workload ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. That said, fans will be excited to watch Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma back in action after a dominant South Africa series, followed by a stunning return to domestic cricket in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025–26.
Returning to the tournament after 15 long years, Kohli struck back-to-back impressive knocks of 131 and 77 for Delhi, while Rohit led Mumbai from the front with a commanding 155 against Sikkim. India will start as favourites to clinch the ODI series, with the Black Caps yet to defeat them on Indian soil in the format.
India also carry winning momentum after sealing the ODI series against South Africa 2–1. Meanwhile, New Zealand will be keen to overturn their away struggles despite coming off successive 3–0 clean sweeps at home against Pakistan, England, and the West Indies.
