India vs Australia 3rd Test, Day 4: 5 Talking points

#3. Nathon Lyon finally ends the wicket drought

Lyon managed to pick up a wicket after conceding 224 runs in 74.2 overs

Nathon Lyon is the most successful off-spinner in the Australia’s cricket history. He asserted the same after he picked up 8 wickets in the first innings of the second Test match at Bengaluru.

However, the Australian went wicket-less in the second innings of the Test match even after bowling 33 overs. In addition to this, Lyon was left embarrassed after he had failed to pick a single wicket in the Indian innings in the Ranchi Test match. He finally ended the drought after he took Cheteshwar Pujara’s wicket in his 43^rd over of the match.

This meant that Lyon managed to pick up a wicket after conceding 224 runs in 74.2 overs after the 8-fer he scalped in the first innings of the previous Test match. The off-spinner could not add anymore wicket and his figures at the end of the first innings read 46-2-163-1.
