This Australian legend is desperate to take revenge from India, says – have to settle the account of 10 years
The Australian off-spinner's goal is to make a significant contribution to the team against India and he is desperate to settle the account of not winning the trophy for a decade.
Australia's experienced off-spinner Nathan Lyon said that the Australian team will complete its unfinished work against India by winning the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy at home later this year. The Australian off-spinner's goal is to make a significant contribution to the team against India and he is desperate to settle the account of not winning the trophy for a decade.
Australia has not captured the Border-Gavaskar since 2014-15. During this time, they have also lost two consecutive series at home. In 2020-21, India was trailing 0-1 and was all out for 36 runs in Adelaide, but after that the team won in Melbourne and created history in Brisbane. At the same time, they were successful in drawing an unforgettable Test in Sydney. The Australian team performed brilliantly in almost every format and won all the trophies, but the failure of the Australian team of this era to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy hurts them a lot. Captain Pat Cummins, who led Australia to the ODI World Cup and World Test Championship titles, has not yet been in the team that won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Lyon said, "Our dream has been unfulfilled for 10 years. It has been a long time and I know we are desperate to change things, especially at home. Don't get me wrong, but India is a superstar and a very challenging team. But I am desperate to change things and get the trophy back."
Lyon further said, "It feels like we are different from the team of a few years ago, we are on the journey to become a great Australian cricket team. Although we are definitely not there yet, but not far from it either because we are playing great cricket."
He admitted that India has a lot of world-class players, in which he described Yashasvi Jaiswal as the best. At the same time, he also said that he will use the experience of county cricket against Jaiswal. The first Test of the five-match series will be played on November 22 at the Perth Stadium.
