India will begin their five-match ODI series against New Zealand at Auckland's Eden Park on November 4, 2026, with history presenting a challenging picture for the visitors. The Indian team has won only four of its 11 ODI matches at the venue, losing six and playing out one tie.

The statistics underline New Zealand's advantage at their home ground, where India have struggled to produce consistent results across different generations of the game. With the opening match approaching, the visitors will be looking to improve their record and begin the series on a positive note.

India's first ODI at Eden Park came on February 22, 1976. Led by Sunil Gavaskar, the visitors suffered an 80-run defeat against New Zealand. Nearly five decades later, the Auckland ground remains a difficult venue for India, despite several memorable performances.
