Australia will take advantage of India's weakness! Have to be careful with this bowler; can give a tough challenge

Border-Gavaskar Trophy: India hosted New Zealand at home, where a three-match Test series was played between the two teams. This series proved to be a nightmare for India and New Zealand created history by 3-0. The performance of Indian batsmen was very poor in this series and even strong batsmen like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were seen struggling against the New Zealand bowlers. The Kiwi spinners gave the most trouble to the Indian batsmen and now Australia would also like to take advantage of this. Australia has a veteran off-spinner like Nathan Lyon, due to which Team India needs to be careful.

Spin bowling against New Zealand in Pune and Mumbai is proving to be a big headache for the Indian batsmen. In the second test, Mitchell Santner single-handedly created a sensation by taking 13 wickets, while in the third test, Ajaz Patel and Glenn Phillips did wonders. In such a situation, it is clear that the Indian batsmen are badly getting entangled in the trap of spin and Nathan Lyon will also look to take advantage of this.

Nathan Lyon's record in Test against India

Although fast bowlers dominate in Australia and cause havoc, spin bowlers also prove to be effective in Adelaide and Sydney. Nathan Lyon also has an excellent record in Australia and he is also an important link in his team's bowling attack in Tests. This off-spinner has a lot of experience of playing against India also. Lyon has taken more than 100 Test wickets against India. While playing in Australia, he has taken 60 wickets against Team India. This bowler has a total of more than 500 test wickets in his account. In such a situation, Leon would also like to do wonders with his spin and play in India's band.

In such a situation, the Indian batsmen will have the challenge of dealing with Australia's deadly fast bowlers as well as Nathan Lyon. For this reason, the matter is not going to be easy for Team India this time. It will be interesting to see how the Indian batsmen, who performed shamefully against New Zealand, find a way to make a comeback in Australia. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is scheduled to begin with the Perth Test on 22 November.
