India will start the Australia Border Gavaskar Trophy series on the 9th of this month. Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for this series. The general characteristic of Indian pitches is to favor spin. Therefore, Australia will come to India with four spinners.
Australian spinner Nathan Lyon will be the biggest headache for India. Australia has high hopes for Lyon. Lyon is the trump card for the Aussies who are looking to win the series in India after 2004. Now the words of Indian player Dinesh Karthik about Lyon’s spin are getting attention on social media.
“Australia’s world-class spinner Lyon is in the team. What he knows is that there is a lot of pressure on him as a key player in the team. The match will take a poor section of Lyon out of the hands of the Aussies. Therefore, Leon has to deal with a lot of pressure.
Shreyas Iyer scored 202 runs off 210 balls in a practice match that day. Lyon conceded 162 runs at the worst economy of the Aussie bowlers (5.61). Shreyas Iyer bowled out Lyon. Lyon needs to rise to form under pressure. While India have Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandra Ashwin, the Aussies don’t have many experienced spinners apart from Lyon,” said Dinesh Karthik.
