IND vs AUS: Craved for each run… Shubman Gill’s condition also worsened in playing this bowler

Ahmedabad: India opener Shubman Gill, who scored a brilliant 128 in the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, admitted that the hosts’ batting line-up tried to put pressure on veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon. But scoring runs against him seemed very difficult. Lyon was Australia’s leading wicket-taker in the series with 19 wickets in four matches, including player of the match in the visitors’ nine-wicket win in the Third Test at Indore.

He also had a five-wicket haul in New Delhi, which went in vain as India won by six wickets to retain the trophy. He said, ‘(Lion) always leaves his mark. They test your patience a lot. Especially when I was batting against him on the third day and the first session was very challenging for me and Rohit. He only bowls in his area.

Gill said, ‘For those who bowl outside the off-stump, they do not give much chance to the batsman. He does not give half volley or short ball. This is quite surprising. It is very difficult to score runs against him as a batsman. Lyon commented that the tour had been challenging for him and Australia. ‘It has been a tough challenge. We knew it was going to be tough, but it has been rewarding. I think our team can learn a lot from this. There are areas where we can improve.

Lyon also said that Australia were eyeing the New Zealand-Sri Lanka Test match in Christchurch, but knew that India would be their opponents in the World Test Championship final at The Oval from June 7-11. Lyon revealed that he was proud of Todd Murphy and Matthew Kuhnmann, who took a combined 19 wickets in the spin department for Australia during their Test debut in India.
