Amid Retirement Claims, Report Says Virat Kohli Wants To Play Till This Tournament

The 36-year-old's career was hanging by a thread after he once again fell victim to a back-of-length delivery on a sixth-stump line on the second day of the fifth and final Test against Australia, the bowler being the self-effacing but relentless Scott Boland.

Former Australian opener and head coach Justin Langer lauded pacer Scott Boland for his performances in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, terming his bowling "elite" and saying he would have played every single Test had he be born in any other era. Boland continued to haunt the Indian team with his accurate line and lengths, taking a four-wicket haul as, despite a promising start by openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul in the second innings, India lost quick wickets and ended their day on 141/6, with a 145-run lead in their hands and very less batting firepower left in the tank. Speaking as quoted by WWOS after stumps, Langer said, "He (Scott Boland) is brilliant, I love him."
