The New Zealand national cricket team toured India in the 1995–96 season to play three Test matches and six ODIs. India won the 3-match Test series 1-0 and the 5-match ODI series 3(5th ODI was abandoned without a ball bowled).[1]

The third Test was heavily affected by the 1995 India cyclone. In the lunch break of the fifth ODI, nine fans were killed when part of the stand collapsed. The teams were not told about the incident, and the match continued.[2]
