India vs New Zealand: Rohit Sharma's India eye new T20I template in contest vs busy Black Caps

India vs New Zealand: India look to put behind the disappointment of an early T20 World Cup exit as they eye a fresh template and better workload management. With a new coach and captain at the helm, India face Tim Southee-led New Zealand in the T20I series opener in Jaipur on Wednesday.

New Zealand were in Dubai on Sunday, playing the T20 World Cup final. They were in Jaipur on Tuesday, gearing up for a T20i series against India, which will get underway less than 72 hours after their crushing defeat to Australia.

Meanwhile, India seem to have already put behind the disappointment of an early T20 World Cup exit. They have a new captain in Rohit Sharma for the T20Is and there is plenty of optimism surrounding the start of Rahul Dravid's tenure as the head coach. Some have already started labelling this the beginning of a new era in Indian cricket under the celebrated former captain.
