India is all set to take on New Zealand in the first Test of the three-match series at the M Chinn Swamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The home side comes into the game with all the momentum in hand, having whitewashed Bangladesh, in the recently concluded Test Series.

As things stand, India is the favorite to make a third consecutive final. The two-time runners-up are in first spot on the table with a stunning win percentage of 74.24%. Second-placed Australia are far behind as things stand at 62.50.
India started their campaign with a 1-0 victory in a two-match series against West Indies before drawing against South Africa 1-1. This year, they have played seven tests at home and won six of them against England and Bangladesh respectively.
Despite being in such a comfortable position, Team India needs to complete a 3-0 whitewash against the Kiwis to confirm a spot in the final, before the big series against Australia in Australia in November.
