Rohit-Virat should be careful, the situation like New Zealand may not happen in Australia, you will have to stay away from this spinner, Video
Cricket News Desk. The recently concluded Test series between India and New Zealand was not good for the Indian batsmen. In the series, many big batsmen including Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were not able to score runs freely, due to which India lost the series 0-3. This usually doesn't happen in India, but India lost due to the spin-track. Our batsman, once considered the greatest player of spin, lost three separate Test matches against Glenn Phillips, Ajaz Patel and Mitchell Santner. This condition of Indian batsmen against spin can harm the team in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.
Leon would like to take advantage
Australia's experienced spinner Nathan Lyon would definitely like to take advantage of this poor form of Indian batsmen. Kohli averaged just 13.40 against spinners in the recently concluded series, while Rohit averaged just 10 in the recent series. Who can forget his dismissal off Santner in Pune, where he played a sweep shot and was clean bowled. It is true that Australia's wickets will be much better than India's, but still it will not be easy for Indian batsmen including Virat-Rohit to play Lyon.
How is Lyon's record?
India has to play five matches against Australia, out of which two matches will be played in Sydney and Adelaide. The wickets here are generally like those in the Asian continent, where spinners dominate. In such a situation, it will not be easy for the Indian batsmen to overcome Lyon. If we look at Lyon's record, so far he has taken 530 wickets in 129 Test matches at an average of 30.28. He has taken 259 wickets in 67 matches in Australia.
Virat-Rohit will have to be ready
Looking at these records, it can be said that Lyon can do for Team India what the Kiwi spinners did for India. In such a situation, Virat and Rohit need to be well prepared for this. This time India will once again have high expectations from Rishabh Pant and Washington Sundar, who have performed brilliantly against the spinners of New Zealand. Pant's average here was 49.50, while Washington's average was 44.50.
