[Watch] Scott Boland once again gets a wicket off the 1st ball to remove Yashasvi Jaiswal in BGT 2024-25 2nd Test

Scott Boland continued his knack of picking up early wickets by taking the prized scalp of Yashasvi Jaiswal on Day 2 of the second Test between India and Australia in Adelaide on Saturday, December 7. Jaiswal was caught behind by Alex Carey, departing for just 24 runs off 31 balls, including four boundaries.

The dismissal took place in the ninth over of India’s second innings. Boland bowled a length ball that nipped after pitching and Jaiswal pushed forward at it tentatively. The left-hander got a faint edge on its way to the wicketkeeper as Carey completed a regulation catch.

As a result, the youngster failed to weave his magic in both the innings, having departed for a golden duck in the first essay. He had slammed 161 in the second innings of the first Test in Perth, where India won by 295 runs.

Meanwhile, Boland continued to impress after taking the crucial wickets of India captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill in the first innings. The medium pacer enjoys a great record at home, having scalped 31 wickets (subject to change after innings) in seven Tests so far.
