Impressed by the way India’s young pacers have operated in tandem, New Zealand wicketkeeper-batter Tim Seifert has credited their variety and discipline for making the Indian attack a formidable unit in the ongoing ODI series .
India’s seamers have played a key role in their 2-0 lead, bowling New Zealand out for 185 and 134 in the first two matches. Seifert, on Thursday, said the different skills of Arshdeep Singh , Anshul Kamboj , Gurunoor Brar and Aqib Nabi had complemented each other effectively.
“They all bring something different. Having Arshdeep as a left-armer is crucial as well. They have different qualities but they work well as a unit,” Seifert said, complimenting the attack’s ability to maintain discipline on surfaces that have offered a “good amount of assistance” to seamers. “To their credit, they didn’t miss much on those wickets in the first two games. Their consistency in hitting the right areas has made run-scoring difficult,” he said.
Seifert was equally impressed by how India’s relatively inexperienced bowlers have adapted to the New Zealand conditions. “They’ve come to New Zealand and adapted to these wickets quickly. Hats off to them. At this level, you’ve to adapt to the conditions and the players you are up against, whether it’s Australia, England or India,” the opening batter said.
