After a disappointing end to their T20 World Cup 2022 campaign, Team India will look to start afresh when they take on hosts New Zealand in a three-match T20I series later this month.
The series opener will take place in Wellington on November 18, before the caravan moves to the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui and Napier for the 2nd and 3rd game on November 20 & 22 respectively.
On that note, here's a look at the highest individual scores in India v New Zealand T20Is:
Highest Individual Score in India vs New Zealand T20Is
Swashbuckling New Zealand left-handed opener Colin Munro holds the record for the highest individual score in India v New Zealand T20Is.
In-fact, Munro is only batsmen from either side, who has racked up a three-figure score (109* off 58) in India v New Zealand T20Is.
The blistering opener achieved the feat during a 2017 T20I in Rajkot when he slaughtered the Indian attack to the tune of 7 fours and as many sixes.
His unbeaten 58-ball 109* powered the tourists to a comfortable 40-run win as India could only manage 156/7 in response to 196/2.
Kane Williamson and Brendon McCullum came close to joining Munro during their superlative knocks of 95 (48) and 91 (55) in 2020 and 2012 respectively but ultimately fell short. The duo occupy the 2nd and 3rd spot in this list.
The other BlackCaps batsmen in the top-10 include Tim Siefert (84 off 43 in Wellington 2019), and Martin Guptill (70 off 42 in Jaipur 2021).

Munro and McCullum feature twice in the list thanks to their scores of 72 (40) and 69* (55) in Hamilton (2019) and Wellington (2009).
As for India, only three cricketers feature in the top-10 list.
Openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan jointly hold the record for the highest individual score for India in the T20Is against New Zealand.
The duo scored 80 apiece during their 158-run stand in a 2017 T20I in Delhi. While Dhawan took 52 deliveries for his 80 runs, Sharma took 55.
The other Indian in the top-10 is the legendary Virat Kohli, who hammered a 41-ball 71 in Chennai during a one-off T20I in 2012.
