Australia’s veteran spinner, Nathan Lyon, on the brink of joining the 500-wicket club, expressed deep admiration for Indian maestro Ravichandran Ashwin. Lyon credited Ashwin as one of his “biggest coaches,” acknowledging the valuable lessons he’s learned from the world-class bowler throughout their encounters on the field.
With Lyon set to make a comeback against Pakistan after recovering from a calf injury, he highlighted Ashwin’s unintentional mentorship in his cricketing journey. The Aussie spinner, boasting 496 wickets, acknowledged Ashwin’s impact and praised him as a skilled opponent.
