Nathan Lyon praised the depth of the Indian Test team, singling out superstars JaspritBumrah and Virat Kohli for their significant impact ahead of the Adelaide Test. Lyon acknowledged India’s balance and their ability to perform under pressure, describing them as a “spectacular side.” Despite this admiration, he emphasized that Australia would leave no stone unturned in their quest for a comeback following their defeat in Perth.
Lyon’s comments come after India secured a commanding 295-run victory in the first Test, with Bumrah leading the charge by taking eight wickets. Kohli’s remarkable century during that match further solidified his reputation as a key player. As both teams prepare for the upcoming day-night Test, Lyon’s respect for India’s capabilities is evident, but he remains focused on Australia’s strategy to bounce back.
The rivalry between India and Australia continues to intensify, with both teams vying for supremacy in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Lyon’s insights reflect the competitive spirit of the series, as Australia aims to reclaim momentum against a formidable Indian side that has dominated recent encounters. The Adelaide Test promises to be a thrilling contest as both teams look to assert their dominance.
