Rohit reveals 'toughest' Australia bowler he faced Down Under

India skipper Rohit Sharma has labelled facing Scott Boland in the Border-Gavaskar series as his 'toughest challenge in Australia'.

Boland played a key role in Australia's comeback win Down Under, taking 21 wickets in just three matches as they overturned a 1-0 deficit to win the series 3-1.

“Boland was the toughest to face in those conditions. When we checked his pitch map, 90% of his deliveries were just on the spot – no width, no full balls, maybe a few, but not many,” Rohit told Michael Clarke on the Beyond23 Cricket Podcast.

The right-hand batter had a forgetful series against the Pat Cummins-led Australia, managing just 31 runs in five innings. His struggles with the bat culminated in the skipper dropping himself for the final Test in Sydney and handing the reins to Jasprit Bumrah, who had led India to a thumping 295-run win in the series opener in Perth.
