Scott Boland conned Shubman Gill in the WTC Final: India had a solid start but was left teetering after losing Gill and Rohit Sharma just before tea.
When Scott Boland struck early in India’s first innings to send the in-form Shubman Gill back, he ensured that Australia did not feel the absence of Josh Hazlewood.
