COTT Boland was steaming in at the Sydney Cricket Ground. In fact, he has been all through the series—Adelaide, Melbourne, and so on. And every time he ran in, he made India pay. In a series where he has played three games, the Victorian has already taken 19 wickets at 14.42.
He is by and large the best bowler for Australia. In fact, at one point he had a better average than that of Jasprit Bumrah (13.06) in this series. Here, on a breezy Saturday afternoon, Boland had already castled KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal before following it up with the wicket of Virat Kohli, who potentially played his last Test on Australian soil.
Taking strike against him was Rishabh Pant. The keeper-batter on day one batted for 98 balls, and took multiple body blows on his way to what was perhaps his slowest 40 in Test cricket. After the kind of dismissals he had in Melbourne, Pant was under a lot of pressure and the pitch too was such that he had to spend time in the middle playing an out-of-character innings. So much so that his approach left the Australian camp surprised.
