Team India is set to take on New Zealand in the five-match T20I series. The first match is scheduled to be played on October 22 at the Hagley Park South in the central city of Christchurch.

Ahead of the match, former Team India's cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara feels that veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar should be the team's first choice with the new ball. He said that if he gets a little help from the pitch, the pacer will extract movement from it.
