How to beat this team India?

For India to lose, their Top order, Middle Order, Fast bowlers, and Spin duo need to fail.
How often these 4 pillars fail to deliver?

If India bowl first, they would probably bundle out the opponent for 230-270 max.
If batting first, they would easily pile up 300-340 and then the bowlers will do the rest of the damage by bowling right and tight.
 
india is beatenable, but that can happen if they are playing against an equally strong team like England.
 
They can stay on this course if they get a proper tactician for a captain.
It could be that Kohli has been learning and has gotten better at captaining and we're just now seeing the results.

It had mostly been the case that, India won because of individual performances, rather than team performances. But it didn't look like the case in this NZ series.
 
There are two ways you can beat your opposition
#1 Get better then them and beat them at their own game
#2 Figure out a way to get them to break mentally and hope they will underperform and loose.

From what we have seen so far, the Indian team, particularly VK thrives in conflict so our best bet is #1. We need to start working on our own game and hope we are good enough to match them in a year or so
 
The perfect template would be to Win the toss, bowl first, get the top 3 out cheaply and put pressure on the middle order. There is a possibility that India might end up with a total of around 250. That's the best way to beat this team. 9 times out of 10, any decent team should chase a total of around 250. England did this in the last ODI against India.
