A thrilling two-Test series gets underway from Thursday, as India and New Zealand lock horns. The series would be highly crucial for both sides. While India eyes payback for its defeat in the ICC World Test Championship final earlier this year, NZ would look to revive its five-match losing streak, having lost five Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) in a row. In the same light, we present the figures, numbers and states between the two in the longest format to date.
