India's tour of New Zealand kicked off with a five-match T20I series which team India won by 5-0 and created history but they couldn't show that performance in the three-match ODI series and got whitewashed at the hands of the hosts and now both the teams are set to face off in two Tests series that starts in Wellington this Friday.

Over the years both teams have played good cricket in the longest format of the game and are in the top three teams in the ICC rankings. Seeing their last couple of years performance this series is going to be a good contest and ahead of the series we're having a look at these two teams' Test rivalry in numbers.
