The highly anticipated ODI series between India and New Zealand will begin on January 11, with the opening match scheduled to be played at the Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) Stadium in Kotambi, Vadodara, Gujarat.
The series has generated significant excitement, particularly as Indian stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who have retired from Test and T20 formats, are set to feature only in the ODI format. Their presence has naturally driven up fan interest and ticket demand.
