Nathan Lyon

Nathan Lyon emerged as the third highest wicket-taker in Tests in 2018. He picked up 49 wickets in 10 games with his best figures of 8 for 106 coming against India in the second Test Match in Perth.

He single-handedly led the charge for the Aussies in the second Test as he picked up a fifer in the first innings to bowl the Indians out for 283 and eventually picked up three wickets in the final innings to hand Australia a win by 146 runs.

He is also the only bowler who has dismissed the Indian run machine, Virat Kohli seven times in Test Cricket.

Lyon has been the go-to man for the Aussies and has delivered for them whenever needed. He was the highest wicket-taker for them in the two-match Test series against Pakistan where he picked up 12 wickets. Apart from this, he is currently the leading wicket-taker for the Aussies in the ongoing Test series against India with 17 wickets in three games.
