Nathan Lyon has played 129 tests for Australia.
Before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Australia’s veteran player Nathan Lyon has warned the Indian team of losing the Test series. He believes that the current Australia team is the best and will end the drought of winning the Test series against India.

The Border Gavaskar Trophy between Australia and India is starting from 22nd November. This time the Indian team has a chance to defeat Australia at home for the third consecutive time. Earlier, Team India had gone to Australia in 2018 and 2021 and won 2-1.
The current Australia team is very different from before
Lyon said, ‘The Australia team led by Pat Cummins is a bit different from the team of former captain Tim Paine, which had lost two consecutive series against India at home. We are on our way to becoming a great Australian cricket team. We certainly haven’t reached that stage yet, but we are on that journey and we have played good cricket.

He said, ‘I have not met Jaiswal yet, but it will be a big challenge for all of us bowlers. The way he played against England. I looked at it very closely and I thought it was quite brilliant.
