Shane Bond reveals Trent Boult's warning to Rohit Sharma 

IPL teammates Rohit Sharma and Trent Boult will square off in the upcoming Ind vs NZ WTC Final. While the two cricketers have attained enormous success playing together for the Mumbai Indians, the dynamics are set to change when they don their national jersey. While speaking on the Star Sports Network, MI bowling coach Shane Bond recently revealed how the two would fare during IPL 2021 nets. 

Bond mentioned how the Kiwi speedster would put in all the efforts and swing the ball while bowling to his MI captain. Moreover, he also pointed out that the New Zealand international would hit Sharma on the pads and then warn him about the same happening in the impending World Test Championship Final as well. The left-arm pacer bowled exceedingly well to claim six wickets in his previous Test appearance against England. The matchup between Sharma and Boult promises to enthrall fans as both look to go all guns blazing against each other.
