India vs New Zealand 1st T20I Live Streaming Details: The batting form of Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav will be a topic of discussion again as the hosts take on New Zealand in game number 1 of the five-match series starting on Wednesday (January 21). With an uncharacteristic strike rate of 113 and an average of less than 15 in 2025, Suryakumar is currently in a rough patch, except for a match-winning knock against Pakistan in the Asia Cup last year.
On the other hand, Ishan Kishan will bat at the number three slot in the absence of Tilak Varma, who is recovering after his lower abdominal pain, which ruled him out of the first three games in the series.
For New Zealand, it poses a golden opportunity to clinch another white-ball series on the tour.
