Latham replaces Tim Southee, who stepped down after a poor performance against Sri Lanka. The Kiwis lost that series 2-0, which raised questions about the team's management and leadership.
The new skipper now has the responsibility of guiding his team through this tough tour of India. India, on the other hand, comes into the series with confidence and are top ranked in the World Test Championship (WTC) table.
They recently played well against Bangladesh and will look to continue their strong form. The home conditions also favor India, making them the clear favorites for this series.
