India, fresh from a 3-0 clean sweep of the T20I series, are all set to take on New Zealand in a 2-match Test series at home from November 25. India, who lost to New Zealand in the World Test Championship final, will be looking to continue their impressive home record against the Black Caps.

On Tuesday, opener KL Rahul also was ruled out due to a thigh injury with Suryaakumar Yadav replacing him.
