IND vs AUS 2nd Test Live Cricket Score Streaming Online Today Match Updates
Australian spin bowler Nathan Lyon became the 3rd bowler to take 100 Test wickets against India. With this feat, he joins the elite list consisting of Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan and England’s James Anderson. He also completed a rare feat of registering his 8th fifer in Tests against India. On Saturday, the spinner singlehandedly dismantled the Indian top order by snapping up the wickets of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Chesteshwar Pujara. He also went on to wipe out India’s best player of spin in Shreyas Iyer as well as wicketkeeper Srikar Bharat.
On Friday, veteran India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin had scripted a similar record when he became the second bowler to breach the 100-wicket mark in India vs Australia Tests. With his dismissal of Alex Carey in the 2nd Test against Australia in Delhi, Ashwin reached 100 wickets against the Aussies, only behind legendary spinner Anil Kumble who has 111 wickets.
His spin twin, Ravindra Jadeja, meanwhile, got to his own personal milestone when he sent back Usman Khawaja and scalped his 250th Test wicket. With this, Jadeja went past the likes of Kapil Dev, Richard Hadlee and Shaun Pollock.
