India won the first three T20I matches to give them an unassailable lead in the series.[5] The third T20I was decided by a Super Over, after both teams made 179 runs from their twenty overs.[6] This gave India their first T20I series win in New Zealand.[7] Kane Williamson was ruled out of the fourth T20I with a shoulder injury, with Tim Southee named as New Zealand's captain in Williamson's absence.[8] The fourth T20I was also tied,[9] with India once again winning the match in the Super Over.[10] India won the final T20I match to take the series 5–0,[11] becoming the first side to whitewash another team in a five-match bilateral T20 series.[12] Williamson's injury also ruled him out of the first two ODIs, with Tom Latham captaining the side.[13]
New Zealand won the first two ODIs, therefore giving them an unassailable lead in the series.[14] New Zealand won the third match by five wickets, to give them a 3–0 series win, and their first clean sweep against India in an ODI series with three or more matches.[15] It was the first time that India was whitewashed in an ODI series since losing 5–0 to the West Indies in March 1989.[16]
During the tour, New Zealand's Ross Taylor became the first cricketer to play in 100 matches in all three formats of international cricket.[17][18] New Zealand won the first Test by ten wickets to record their 100th victory in Test match cricket.[19] New Zealand won the second Test by seven wickets,[20] taking the series 2–0,[21] and extending their record of being undefeated at home to thirteen Test matches.[22] It was the first time that India had been whitewashed in a Test series under Virat Kohli's captaincy.[23]
