Now the pink ball Test between India and Australia is getting closer. This will be the second match of the five-match Test series, which will be played in Adelaide on December 6. India took the lead in the series with a win in the first match, while Australia trailed. After the defeat, Australia suffered another blow with the team’s star fast bowler Josh Hazlewood being ruled out of the second game of the series. Meanwhile, a new player joins the team. While Josh Hazlewood is a devastating bowler, Scott Boland is no slouch either. He also played against India and managed to take wickets.
Scott Boland has conducted ten Tests so far
Scott Boland is almost 35 years old, but he hasn’t had the chance to play many Test matches. He has played 10 Tests so far and has taken 35 wickets to his name. He also managed to take four wickets once and five wickets once. With Australia having such a large pool of fast bowlers, Boland didn’t get many chances. He won’t get the chance to start his Test career until 2021. After 2023, people will see him again.
The match is against India at Pune and The Oval
Scott Bolan has played only two matches against India so far. Here, he has 5 wickets to his name. This can be called a good performance. He got his first chance to play against India in Nagpur in February 2023. He had no success at that time. But there will be no chance to play against India until 2023. He then took two wickets in the first innings. He showed Shubman Gill and Shrika Bharat the way to the pavilion. Thereafter, he took three wickets in the second innings of the same match. Along with Shubman Gill, he also dismissed Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja in the second innings of the match.
Bolan could be a threat to Shubman Gill
He has successfully sacked Shubman Gill twice so far. Shubman Gill is likely to return in the second Test after missing the first Test. In this case, Shubman Gill had to stay away from Bolan. While Shubman was the opener in the past when he was bowled twice off Bolan’s bowling, now he will bat at No.3. The good thing for India, though, is that Bolan hasn’t played any Tests for a long time, so he won’t be in the same rhythm as Josh Hazlewood. Team India can take advantage of this. At the same time, it is certain that this match between India and Australia will be very interesting.
