The veteran Australian spinner, Nathan Lyon, who is playing his 100th Test at Gabba against India revealed that he is looking forward to bowling to the Indian wicket-keeper batsmen, Rishabh Pant, who often tried to smash the spinner. Lyon has already got the prized wicket of Rohit Sharma in the first innings. Day 2 of the ongoing Test in Brisbane was abandoned after the Tea break, due to rain. Play will resume on Day 3 and India’s score reads 62/2 and the visitors are still trailing the hosts by 307 runs. 

During the rain-break, Nathan Lyon was heard saying, “It was like a day 3 wicket yesterday, and there’s a nice crack outside off-stump so I’m trying to aim at that. Rishabh always tries to smash me so I’m looking forward to bowl to him, it’s always a great battle with him. My natural line is Paine’s right glove, that’s about a foot outside off-stump, and there’s a nice crack on that line so hopefully, I can get something out of that.”
