The New Zealand cricket team toured India in October and November 2017 to play three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1][2][3] The fixtures replaced the planned visit to India by Pakistan that was listed on the Future Tours Programme.[4] The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed the full dates in September 2017.[5][6] On 25 September 2017, New Zealand named the first nine players for the ODI squad.[7] The remaining players for New Zealand's ODI and T20I squads were named on 14 October 2017.[8]

Ahead of the second ODI, footage emerged of groundsman Pandurang Salgaonkar allegedly agreeing to tamper with the wicket.[9] He was later suspended by the Maharashtra Cricket Association, with the match going ahead as scheduled.[10][11]

India won the ODI series 2–1 and the T20I series 2–1.[12][13]
