Virat Kohli has set his sights on India's challenging full tour of New Zealand after defeating Australia in a three-match One-day International series at home. The Indian captain, who is known for his fitness standards and a disciplined diet,  was seen relishing a "good meal" after a gym session with his teammates KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Manish Pandey in Auckland. The Eden Park in Auckland will host the first T20 International of the five-match series between India and New Zealand on Friday. 

"Top team gym session and a good meal out in beautiful Auckland @im_manishpandey, @imjadeja, @klrahul11," Virat Kohli captioned the group selfie with his teammates on Twitter.

Kohli was the most successful Indian batsman in the series against Australia as he scored 183 runs, with the help of two half-centuries. The 31-year-old batsman helped India beat Australia in the last two ODIs to clinch the three-match series. He was adjudged the player of the series.

India are scheduled to play five T20Is, three One-day Internationals and two Tests on a long tour of New Zealand that concludes on March 4.

Opener Shikhar Dhawan, who was initially named in the T20I squad, has been ruled out with a shoulder injury.

Kerala wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has been named as Dhawan's replacement in the T20I side. Young opening batsman Prithvi Shaw has been called up to the 50-over side in the absence of Dhawan.
