In the pre-match press conference, India captain Hardik Pandya had revealed that Dhoni had met the Blues ahead of the series opener.

“Mahi bhai is here which is good as we get to meet him. We can get out of the hotel also (to meet him). Otherwise, the way we have played in the last one month, it has just been hotel to hotel. And when we meet we try to talk about life rather than the game. When we played together I learned a lot from him. I have squeezed a lot out of him (knowledge), there is not much left,” Pandya told reporters in pre-match press conference in Ranchi on Thursday.

India and New Zealand have played 8 T20I series against each other, out of which India won 4 and New Zealand won 3.
