New Delhi. Fast bowler Scott Boland played an important role in destroying the Indian batting in the Sydney Test match. He took 10 wickets in both the innings combined.

Team India, which was bundled out for 185 runs in the first innings, scored 157 runs in the second innings with the help of Boland’s ‘sixes’. But it was limited.
