The India cricket team toured New Zealand in the 1980β81 season to play a three-match Test series and a two-match One Day International (ODI) series against New Zealand. The tour also included two tour matches against New Zealand's first-class sides. After the tour ended, India played Fiji in a two-day game in Lautoka, defeating them by 220 runs. [1] New Zealand won the ODI series 2β0 and the Test series that followed 1β0. It was their first series win against India in Tests in seven attempts. [2]
India arrived in New Zealand on the back of a series-levelling win in the final Test against Australia. However, failing to capitalize on the momentum, India lost both ODIs played on consecutive days, before drawing a game against a first-class side. India missed the services of Shivlal Yadav for the entire Test series that followed, and of Dilip Doshi for the first Test after they sustained injuries on the Australia tour. New Zealand defeated India by 62 runs in the first Test, their first win against India in seven Tests, while India managed to secure draws in the next two. Wisden reasoned India's "inept batting" for their loss of the series. [3]
