Key Highlights

India are almost at their full strength with the preferred top four in the batting coming together as captain Shubman Gill and his deputy Shreyas Iyer return to the side after injuries.
The bowling too has been bolstered by the inclusion of Mohammed Siraj.
Meanwhile, New Zealand do not have a majority of their first choice players and that could make the series a bit one-sided.
Also, this is the first men's international match at the newly-built BCA Stadium in Vadodara, where men's international cricket is returning after more than 15 years.
