A day earlier, by taking 8 wickets in India’s second innings, Nathan Lyon has become the highest wicket-taker in the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
Australia have to score only 76 runs to win in Indore. As it is clear from the goal itself that it is almost impossible for India to avoid defeat. Now if anyone can make this impossible possible then it can be Ashwin. But for this he will have to break a day old record.
Here one day old record means Nathan Lyon’s feat in India’s second innings. A day earlier, by taking 8 wickets in India’s second innings, Nathan Lyon has become the highest wicket-taker in the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
Nathan Lyon’s name is now 113 wickets inside the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In this case, he broke Anil Kumble’s record of 111 wickets and got it in his name.
Now Ashwin will have this chance to break the record made by Nathan Lyon a day earlier. If they do this, then India’s victory, which is looking distant at the moment, can fall in the bag.
Now what will Ashwin have to do to break that record? Currently Ashwin has 106 wickets. That is, he is 8 wickets away from breaking Nathan Lyon’s 113 wickets. This means that he will have to take 8 wickets of Australia in the second innings, which if he does, then India can be saved from losing Indore to Australia. (All photos: AFP)
