This bowler will return to Australia's team after 519 days, has dismissed Kohli twice, and has also challenged KL Rahul.

 

Team India may have won the Perth Test. But now, there is a new challenge ahead of it. Actually, the Indian team has to play a day-night test in Adelaide, where the players have very little experience. In this match starting on 6 December, there will be a challenge of facing the pink ball. During this time, Rohit Sharma's team may have to face another big challenge in the form of Scott Boland. After Hazelwood's injury, his return to the Australian team is almost certain.

Will challenge in a practice match

Before the Adelaide Test, a two-day day-night practice match is to be played between India and Australia's Prime Minister XI. In this, Boland will be seen leading his team's pace attack. He is also a part of Australia's main team. For this reason, his playing in the second match is considered certain. If this happens, he will be seen playing Test cricket once again after 519 days. He played the last Test on 6 July 2023. 35-year-old Boland made his Test debut for Australia in 2021. Since then he has played 10 matches, in which he bowled brilliantly and took 35 wickets at an excellent average of 20.34. During this, his economy has been less than 2.

Kohli was out 2 times in the WTC final.

Scott Boland also bowled against India in the 2023 World Test Championship final. He took 2 wickets in the first innings and 3 wickets in the second innings. He hunted down Virat Kohli in both innings of this match. At the same time, before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, he also warned KL Rahul. Boland had said that playing against Rahul on his own ground would be a different experience.

Boland, who accompanied the Australian team on their tour to India last year, had bowled to Rahul in a Test match. He had described Rahul as a brilliant batsman and had also said that he is such a batsman whom the Australian bowlers can dominate. The Australian pacer said that this is his goal and expressed hope that he and his fellow bowlers will be successful in doing so during the entire series.
