The biggest threat to Indian batsmen is ‘this’ bowler, the Indian legend said
The most important WTC final between India vs Australia is being played at London’s K Oval ground. On the second day of this match, on Thursday (June 08), Australia were bowled out for 469 runs. The Indian team has scored 151 runs for the loss of 5 wickets by the end of the second day’s play. The pitch looks good for the batsmen, but commentator and Indian wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik believes that one bowler could be a problem for the Indian batsmen.
Who is the bowler?
Dinesh Karthik tweeted, “The more Tests I watch, the more I think Scott Boland will be the toughest bowler for the Indian batsmen.”
The more I watch this test match, I feel SCOTT BOLAND will be the toughest bowler to face for the Indian batters. #WTCFinal #WTCFinal2023 #CricketTwitter

Scott Boland is a right-arm medium pace bowler. He has taken 1 wicket in India’s first innings till the end of the second day’s play in the WTC final. He showed Shubman Gill the way to the tent by dismissing Shubman Gill in Triphala when the team’s score was 30.
Boland has played 7 Test matches so far before WTC. During this time he has taken 28 wickets. He had earlier played a Test match against India in Nagpur in February. However, he could not take a single wicket in both the matches played against India so far. Boland replaces Josh Hazlewood in the squad.
Boland’s fantastic stats
Scott Boland is 34 years old and his stats are pretty impressive. He made his debut against England at the end of 2021. In the fourth innings of that match played in Melbourne, Boland took 6 wickets for 7 runs in 4 overs. This included the wickets of players like Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow. He took 5 wickets in just 19 balls in that innings. He also became the bowler who took 5 wickets in the fewest balls in Test history.
Boland has taken 28 wickets in his 7 matches at an average of 13.42. His average is the lowest of any Test player to have bowled at least 1,000 balls since the turn of the 20th century. So he can be the biggest threat to the Indian team. (Commentator Dinesh Karthik feels this will be toughest bowler to face for Indian batters wtc final 2023)
