The third test match between India and Australia is going on in the Indore cricket stadium. Batting first, the Indian team scored 109 runs in the first innings. Australia’s spin attack provides a sizzling performance with the red ball. M kuhnemann grabbed 5 wickets, whereas veteran Lyon bagged 3 wickets, and Todd Murphy also got 1 wicket.
In this match, Australia’s veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon created history. Lyon took his second wicket in the form of R. Jadeja, and as soon as he took that wicket, he scripted the world record of becoming the most successful foreign bowler in Asia. Now, Nathan Lyon broke the record of great Shane Warne in this matter.
With this, he broke the world record of the great Shane Warne, who took 127 wickets on Asian soil. Nathan Lyon dismissed KS Bharat after Jadeja and took his wicket tally to 129. Leon’s wicket count is expected to increase.
Only two overseas bowlers have managed to take 100 or more wickets in Tests on Asian soil. In Asia, Nathan Lyon and the late Shane Warne are the only bowlers with 100 or more wickets. Former New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori is third in the list with 98 wickets. Former South African fast bowler Dale Steyn is frozen in fourth place with 92 wickets.
England’s experienced fast bowler James Anderson completes the top-5 list with 82 wickets. Former West Indies veteran fast bowler Courtney Walsh occupies the sixth position in this list with 77 wickets.
