The Indian team made a strong start to the year 2020 under the captaincy of Virat Kohli. India beat Sri Lanka 2–0 in the first 3-match T20 series, while beating Australia 2–1 in the ODI series, but now the Indian team has to take the first overseas tour of this decade to New Zealand. A 5-match T20 series is to be played between the Kiwi team and India, followed by a 3-match ODI series and a 2-match Test series in the last.
