Shastri went on to play 80 Tests and 150 ODIs for the country. He retired from both formats in 1992 and post that, has worked as a commentator, team director, and coach.

The current India vs New Zealand Test series is part of the ICC World Test Championship, wherein Virat Kohli and his men have not lost any game so far. The first Test match of the series will be played in Wellington, while the second one will be played in Christchurch.

The series will wrap up a tour in which the Indian team had mixed fortunes. While they whitewashed the Kiwis 5-0 in the T20I series, they were whitewashed themselves (3-0) in the ODI series that followed.
