Not many times, a series between the first-ever World Test Championship (WTC) finalists looks and feels like a dress rehearsal, a tool to fine-tune preparations for what's to come in November-December and the first week of January too. That's what this upcoming three-match series between India and New Zealand is, in terms of preparation, however, if WTC points are taken into consideration, it's relevance increases for both teams, since very crucial points are at stake.

India would want to stay unbeaten and sweep the home Test assignment before going to Australia. On the other hand, New Zealand haven't been in great form in Test cricket, having lost two consecutive assignments 2-0, one at home against Australia in February-March and the other recently in Sri Lanka. They have had a captaincy change after those abject performances and under Tom Latham, the Black Caps would hope for change in fortunes as they are yet to win an away series since the World Test Championship began in 2019.
