Meanwhile, Australian fast bowler Scott Boland has given a big statement. He has said that despite the return of Mitchell Starc, his performance has made the job of the selectors difficult for the second Test. In the Nagpur Test, Boland gave 34 runs in 17 overs without taking a wicket. Boland was initially not ready to play in the first Test. But was given a place in the playing XI due to an injury to Josh Hazlewood.
Starc Missed the First Match of the Series with a Finger Injury and is Set to Become Australia’s Second Pacer in Delhi
Starc missed the first match of the series due to a finger injury. And is set to become Australia’s second fast bowler in Delhi. If all-rounder Cameron Green recovers from his injury, then the selectors can consider three main spinners.

Boland said, I feel as if I bowled well, but when you give a place to someone like Mitchell Starc. Who can be fatal in these conditions. He bowled really well in Sri Lanka and Pakistan, so hopefully I have made the selectors’ job difficult. He said, I felt that I contributed to my game plan and together with Todd Murphy had a good spell many times, so I am very happy.
