The first of three ODIs between India and New Zealand gets underway on Sunday as the Black Caps begin their tour in Vadodara.

All eyes will be on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma returning to the fold and with captain Shubman Gill leading the side it's no surprise this game is a sell out for Indian fans.

Those three will be aiming to ensure India don't follow the same outcome when a New Zealand side last visited in 2024 and handed them a 3-0 drubbing in a Test series.

AllSportsPeople looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match and start times.
