New Delhi: Aussie spinners continued to weave their magic in India as Nathan Lyon completed a seven-wicket haul on Day 1 of second Test in Bengaluru on Saturday.
Lyon, who was overshadowed by Steve O’Keefe in the Pune Test, came to the fore with a brilliant spell of spin against Indian batsmen, who are regarded as the best players of turning ball.
The 29-year-old off-spinner accounted for the wickets of Cheteshwar Puajara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, R Ashwin, Wriddhiman Saha, Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul and Ishant Sharma.
In the process, he also overtook Brett Lee’s as the leading Aussie wicket-taker against India.
Lee had 53 wickets, and Lyon now has 57 scalps.
India were eventually bowled out for 189.
