Extremely hungry to turn things around against India - Lyon

Australia's hero spinner Nathan Lyon has his look solidly set on the Boundary Gavaskar Prize against India at home in November. The 36-year-old figured that the World Test Champions are 'eager to make something happen' against the resistance especially at home. Australia have been at the pinnacle of their powers as of late however have yielded two home Test series to India on the skip. First came in mid 2019, when Australia were without Steve Smith and David Warner attributable to their ball altering boycotts. In 2020-21, India returned from the lowness of 36 all on a mission to get the four-match series 2-1 in emotional style in Australia's stronghold - the Gabba. Australia have likewise not had accomplishment while visiting India, and last held the Line Gavaskar Prize in 2014-15. "It's been 10 years of incomplete business, it's been quite a while, and I know we're very ravenous to make something happen particularly here at home," Lyon said. "Try not to misunderstand me, India is an outright genius side and incredibly testing however I'm very ravenous to make something happen and ensure we get that prize back. Quick bowler Josh Hazlewood, who also was forced to bear both the home series routs, repeated Lyon's contemplations. "There are many players who have never beaten India in a Test series. Saying that is very bewildering. That is one we want to tick off, most certainly, specifically at home - we ought to essentially win each series here at home. The last time around in Australia, the hosts completed second-best to a physical issue desolated India group that wound up giving out presentations to five players in the last Test. Such was the degree of the circumstance that Mohammed Siraj, who played his most memorable Test in the second of the series in Melbourne, went into the fourth game in Brisbane as the most experienced bowler of the pack. "That last series we clearly bowled them out for 36 in Adelaide and we thought here we go, [we are] back at home [and] sure on these grounds. Individuals say we played India B in that endure for the long haul Test, yet they can now and again be more grounded than the best group. They have mind blowing profundity in all configurations and we are beginning to see that now," Hazlewood believed. Lyon notwithstanding, figured that Australia are better prepared this time around. "Feel like we are an alternate group to two or quite a while back, we are on an excursion of turning into an extraordinary Australian cricket crew. We're most certainly not there but rather we are along that excursion and have been playing some good cricket." At the point when the series starts, in Perth on November 22, Australia will clash with another Indian tyro - Yashasvi Jaiswal. The opener partook in a leading edge series at home against Britain where he amassed 712 runs in nine innings. "I haven't gone over him [Jaiswal] yet, however that will be really difficult for all us bowlers," Lyon said. "The manner in which he played against Britain, I watched that intently and believed that was very astonishing. I had a few great talks with [England spinner] Tom Hartley about various ways he went about it to various folks which I saw as very fascinating." "I love discussing cricket, so on the off chance that I can converse with somebody who has played Test cricket I could possibly get something I'm not mindful of. There's such a lot of information drifting around this game that we can constantly take advantage of," Lyon added. While beating India at home is high on the plan, Hazlewood likewise trusts Australia can pursue arriving at their second progressive World Test Title last. The quick bowler missed the final remaining one - against India in 2023. Australia are presently second behind India on the WTC table. "It's generally behind the scenes, we have the table up [to see] where we are sitting and what we want to tick off," he said. "As far as I might be concerned, it's a major one since I didn't get to play the final remaining one in Britain so that is a consuming one for me," Hazlewood said.
