Scott Boland has once again proved indispensable to Australia's cricket team, stepping up as a replacement and delivering a match-winning performance. Despite often playing second fiddle to Australia's established pace trio, Boland's impact is undeniable, as he consistently challenges batsmen with his precise bowling.

The 35-year-old, substituting for the injured Josh Hazlewood, took four wickets for 31 runs against India, leading Australia's bowling attack. His precise line and length, coupled with effective movement off the seam, made him a significant threat to India's lineup, overshadowing fellow pacers Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc.

His commitment and consistency have earned him respect from teammates and opponents alike. India's Rishabh Pant acknowledged Boland's ability to excel in familiar conditions, while Australian all-rounder Beau Webster praised his relentlessness and skill, further cementing Boland's status as a vital player in the team.
