The Indian cricketers have arrived in New Zealand with their captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni careful not to talk up his team's chances of a first series win here since 1968.
Dhoni says most of the team haven't toured here, conditions are different - especially with drop in wickets - and the one day series in Australia will have helped the Black Caps.
But he agrees his side is packed with talent with more bowling firepower to exploit a seaming wicket and batting talent to take advantage of good pitch.
India play two Twenty20 matches - the first Christchurch in Wednesday night - five one dayers and three tests.
