On 90 percent occasions he was bowling on the right tapp.”

Rohit Sharma said that Bolland was not giving space to open hands, was not bowling even on full length. Rohit said that the run-up of the Bolland is straight and holds the seam in different ways. Scott Bolland got a chance in the playing XI in place of injured Josh Hazlewood in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Rohit took 21 wickets in just 3 matches in the Test series.
