New Zealand batting coach Luke Ronchi is highly impressed with India's raw pace attack which has consistently posed probing questions for home team batters during the first two ODIs where they have been shot out for 185 and 134 respectively. The quartet of Arshdeep Singh, Auqib Nabi, Anshul Kamboj, and Gurnoor Brar have accounted for 17 out of the 20 Black Caps wickets across Auckland and Wellington.

"Yeah, they've been really good. They're asking questions of batters and it'll be quite cool for them. They're going into games where the ball isn't flying around, the ball is actually assisting them and then they'll be happy with that," the former wicketkeeper-batter said. Ronchi was more impressed by the fact that having bowled on flatter sub-continental decks, the young attack have found the right length on conducive surfaces, something that at times can be difficult in terms of adjustment.
