Australia vs India 2018: Watch Nathan Lyon Plumb Ajinkya Rahane in Front of Wickets

Australia’s premier spinner Nathan Lyon was able to plumb India’s deputy Ajinkya Rahane in front of the wickets. The ball once again didn’t bounce much when Rahane went back into his crease. It was dead plumbed as umpire Ian Gould didn’t waste any time in raising his finger. The right-handed batter made 34 runs. Meanwhile, Cheteshwar Pujara also got out on a ball that kept low.

In fact, Rahane once again started his innings in the topmost gear. However, he decided to gear down after settling into the crease. Meanwhile, Nathan Lyon had troubled both Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma in his previous over.

The pitch continues to surprise.

Rohit Sharma decided to go for a sweep but could only manage a top edge. However, a simple catch was bungled by substitute fielder Peter Siddle. Furthermore, Ajinkya Rahane also had a lucky escape when Travis Head who was standing at short leg could not get into the right position to take a catch.
