Nathan Lyon picks five-wicket haul to complete 100 Test wickets against India
India and Australia are currently locking horns in the second Test in Delhi. The game is building up excitement and it’s fair to say that Australia is currently at the top. After the hosts bundled them out for 263 runs, they have done exceptionally well.
Nathan Lyon has shown his team the way as he has troubled the Indian batters and has left them tottering by taking the four quick wickets. The off-spinner removed the Indian top order in no time and reduced them to 66/4.
Lyon drew the first blood for his side when he trapped KL Rahul in LBW for 17 runs. If this was not enough he then outfoxed skipper Rohit Sharma and clobbered his stumps before removing Cheteshwar Pujara for a duck in his 100th Test.
Lyon then didn’t stop there as he then outfoxed KS Bharat and sent him packing as well for just 6 runs. With this wicket, the off-spinner completed yet another five-wicket haul in the Tests. Not only this, but he also completed 100 wickets against India.
His staggering spell of bowling left the opposition tumbling at 139/7. Lyon surely has put his team on the front foot and it’s fair to say that he has put India under immense pressure.
