IND vs AUS: After Australia won the ICC Test Mace beating India in the World Test Championship Final, skipper Pat Cummins said that Scott Boland continues to be his favourite bowler. Boland played a decisive role in Australia’s comprehensive 209-run victory over India. The Victorian troubled the Indian batsmen throughout the match with his incisive bowling, not allowing the Indian batting line-up to settle in the middle.
“We left Day One feeling like we were on top of the game. When it counted, we played really well. We could have really driven the game, didn’t have our best day and let India closer back in. For the most part, we were in control. Boland – he’s my favourite player. He just continues to be my favourite,” Cummins said.
“Coming off a break, everyone switched on when it mattered. Everyone played really well and we’ll savour this for a few days before we turn our attention (to the Ashes),” he said.
The right-arm seamer Boland accounted for Shubman Gill (18), Virat Kohli (49) and Ravindra Jadeja (0) in the second innings as India were bowled out for 234 while chasing 444.

For Boland, it was all about hitting the right areas consistently in such a huge contest.
“It was good fun. Nice for our bowling group to come over here and put up a good performance and take 20 wickets. You needed to hit similar areas all the time.
“There was a little bit of bounce and we tried to exploit that. It felt pretty good to get Kohli out. Some amazing catching from our cordon, it’s nice to have the confidence that if you get the nicks they’re going to get taken,” said the fast bowler.
