India captain Rohit Sharma has described facing Scott Boland during the Border-Gavaskar series as his toughest challenge on Australian soil.

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.
