After 10 overs,New Zealand 65/1 ( Martin Guptill 19 , Mark Chapman 42)
Good stuff from India. They have kept a tight leash. The Kiwis have run well but they haven't been able to gain the momentum. Another couple of overs of singles and twos. Ashwin conceded seven runs while Axar goes for just 3. Good accurate bowling with variations in pace. 10 runs off the last two overs. The Kiwis would be looking to up the ante now.
19:41 (IST)
This is the first time R Ashwin is playing a home T20I match since the 2016 T20 World Cup semi-final where he conceded 20 runs in 2 overs including the infamous no-ball that got Lendl Simmons out.

Ashwin continues....
19:38 (IST)
After 8 overs,New Zealand 55/1 ( Martin Guptill 14 , Mark Chapman 39)
A decent couple of overs for India. No boundaries in them.
Ashwin continued. He started off well and gave away just three runs off the first five balls. He varied his pace nicely. But off the last ball he erred in line, dragged it down the leg side, Chapman swept it wide of short fine leg for a FOUR to make it 7 off the over.
Axar Patel is brought into the attack. He was a touch short to start off but was lucky that the batsmen hit them straight to the fielder for singles. He then altered his length and went full. Chapman tucked one to the leg side and charged through for a couple. 7 runs off the over. 14 off the last two.

After 6 overs,New Zealand 41/1 ( Martin Guptill 9 , Mark Chapman 30)
New Zealand looking to up the ante now
A decent start from R Ashwin. He gives away six runs. Chapman played a couple of well placed drives through extra cover for a couple of twos. There were two more singles in the over. Ashwin changed his pace well.
Chahar is brought back for the last over of Powerplay, Guptill shows intent straightaway as he smashes one wide of long on for FOUR! A single followed. Chahar then foxed Chapman with a slower one, he looked to swing across the line but misses. He then whipped one over mid-wicket for a FOUR. Then missed the slower one again and then thumped a short delivery over deep mid-wicket for the first SIX of the innings. 15 off the Chahar over. 21 off the last 2.
19:31 (IST)
SIX! A touch short from Chahar, Chapman hammers it over deep mid-wicket. 15 off the Chahar over.
19:29 (IST)
FOURS! Kiwis looking to up the ante. Guptill smashes one wide of long on, off Chahar and then Chapman flicks one over mid-wicket for the second FOUR of the over.

R Ashwin into the attack....
19:22 (IST)
After 4 overs,New Zealand 20/1 ( Martin Guptill 3 , Mark Chapman 15)
Bhuvneshwar bowling beautifully. After a couple of dots, Chapman looked to loft one over the top but got an outside edge wide of the keeper for a streaky FOUR. The Indians had removed the slip fielder and if he had been there, it would have been straight into his hands. Bhuvneshwar was on the money right through the over. Just four runs off the over.
Mohammed Siraj was brought into the attack. He hit the hard lengths, didn't get much seam movement or swing. Chapman walked down the track and looked to pull one but mistimed it to mid-wicket. He was largely disciplined apart from the one WIDE he bowled which was way over Chapman's head. 5 runs off the Siraj over. 9 runs off the last two.
19:12 (IST)
Bhuvneshwar Kumar continues....
19:12 (IST)
After 2 overs,New Zealand 11/1 ( Martin Guptill 1 , Mark Chapman 9)
A good start for India. Bhuvneshwar struck in the first over. He got movement in the air and off the pitch as well. Guptill got off the mark with a push to covers. But then Bhuvneshwar bowled a brilliant inswinger to clean up Mitchell who was beaten all ends up. He gave away just two runs in the over with one being a leg bye.
Deepak Chahar bowled the second over. He didn't get his lines right to start off. Chapman drove a widish delivers through point for two and a delivery later he lofted one through cover for a risky FOUR. Chapman then looked to walk down the track but got an inside edge wide of short fine leg for a couple. He conceded 9 runs off the over.
19:05 (IST)
OUT! Brilliant delivery! Bhuvneshwar Kumar cleans Mitchell up with a beautiful inswinger. It's a good length delivery outside off, it swings in sharlly and then nips back in off the pitch as well. Mitchell stays in his crease and looks to defend but is done in by the movement and misses. The ball shatters the timber.
19:01 (IST)
Right then! The NZ openers Daryl Mitchell and Martin Guptill are out in the middle. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will start off proceedings.

Pitch Report: Looks like a really good surface to bat on. The dew might play a role so the team batting first will need to score those 10-15 runs extra, says Ajit Agarkar

Batting great Sunil Gavaskar feels Rahul Dravid will handle his new responsibility as head coach of the Indian team in the same "safe and strong" manner as he went about his batting while playing for the country.
"When he used to play, we used to think that till Rahul Dravid is at the crease, the Indian batting is safe and strong," Gavaskar said on the Star Sports show 'Follow the Blue.'
"This is the reason why I believe that the new responsibility of head coach that falls upon him, he will be able to handle it in a similar way."

India’s new T20 captain Rohit Sharma on Tuesday said instilling a sense of security in players will be his priority and he will not stop hand-holding them even if they fail in a few games while trying to perform specific roles for the team.
Ahead of his first full-time assignment as India captain against New Zealand, Rohit outlined the need for him and coach Rahul Dravid to play a “big role” in allowing individuals to play fearless cricket and instil confidence even when they don’t get the desired results.
“I think it is an important aspect of the format (T20) where people have that assurance of going in and taking those chances in the middle. If it comes off, it comes off, if it doesn’t then what happens,” Rohit said when PTI asked how he would like to maintain a balance between security and flexibility while trying out combinations going into the next T20 World Cup in 11 months’ time.
“That’s where both of us will have to play a huge role and huge part in terms of giving that individual an assurance you know going out and expressing himself,” the skipper was categorical on how he and the new coach will go about their job.
18:02 (IST)
As part of a new leadership group, India's T20 vice-captain KL Rahul could not be more excited about working with Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma as the head coach is big on setting a good team culture with the new skipper being a tactical genius.
About Rohit, the stylish batter said his performances for the Indian team and his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise say it all.
"We have all seen him in the IPL and his stats are for everybody to see. He has a great understanding of the game and tactically he is really good and that is why he has been able to achieve what he has as a leader.
"He will bring a lot of calm into the dressing room. The next few weeks will be exciting to know what kind of goals he has for the team and what kind of template we are looking to play.
"In a team sport it is always a collective effort and decision. The job of the leadership group is to ensure that everybody is clear about their roles and feeling secure in the team and it will be an exciting challenge to create that kind of atmosphere," he said.

India start a new era under a new coach and a new T20I captain. Rahul Dravid takes over as the head coach from Ravi Shastri while Rohit Sharma has taken over the T20I captaincy after Virat Kohli stepped down at the end of T20 World Cup 2021. They would be looking for a positive start after a disappointing campaign in the T20 WC. They stuttered at the start in T20 WC but then recovered and battled hard to win their last three matches in a convincing manner. But by then, it wasn't out of their hands as the Kiwis' calculative approach helped them make the semis and the finals. They would be looking to recover from the disappointment of the finals loss against Australia. There will be some tired legs in there after a short turnaround time. They played the final on 14 November and within three days they are playing their next series. With players rested on both the sides, both teams will be looking to test the fringes and it's a chance for the newcomers and comeback men to shine. We are in for another cracker.

Hello and welcome to the coverage of the 1st T20I between India and New Zealand in Jaipur. Match starts at 7 pm IST. Follow this space for live scores and updates.
India vs New Zealand Live Score, Final Cricket Score and Live Streaming, Latest Updates: Good stuff from India. They have kept a tight leash. The Kiwis have run well but they haven't been able to gain the momentum. Another couple of overs of singles and twos. Ashwin conceded seven runs while Axar goes for just 3. Good accurate bowling with variations in pace. 10 runs off the last two overs. The Kiwis would be looking to up the ante now.
India, under Virat Kohli for the final time in T20Is, endured a forgettable campaign in the recently-concluded World Cup, exiting from the Super 12s following defeats to Pakistan and New Zealand. The Kiwis, meanwhile, reached another final, where they were outclassed by Trans-Tasman rivals Australia in Dubai on 14 November.
This has given New Zealand very little time to recover and regroup, and as a result, skipper Kane Williamson opted to sit out, with Tim Southee to take over as captain for this series.
The Kiwis will also miss Devon Conway, who suffered a freak hand injury during the semi-final against England last week.
The Indian selection committee announced a bulk of changes for the T20s, including Rohit Sharma being named the skipper. The likes of Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah have been rested following India’s World Cup campaign.
All-rounder Venkatesh Iyer has received his maiden India call-up and would look to impress for the all-rounder's spot with Hardik Pandya being dropped, while Yuzvendra Chahal who was controversially dropped from the T20 World Cup squad, returns to the side. The squad also consists of Ruturaj Gaikwad, who has shown his impeccable batting skills in the IPL with CSK.
Other IPL stars like Harshal Patel and Avesh Khan also find themselves in the squad.
KL Rahul looks set to open, but India do have other options in Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan.
Ashwin, who enjoyed a positive limited overs comeback in UAE, will also look to raise his game once more in the series.
