Australia's off-spinner Nathan Lyon remains worried about the Indian team and has identified Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Rishabh Pant as the mainstay batsmen India will bank upon in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy which starts this year in November features five Test matches between these two powerhouse teams. Rohit Sharma's team is expected to be the favorites because of their good record against Australia in recent years. But Australia is still strong, with top players like Pat Cummins, Marnus Labuschagne, and Steve Smith. Lyon said that Team India will be a big challenge for Australia, especially players like Kohli, Rohit, and Pant. He stated, “Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Rishabh Pant are probably going to be the three really big ones. But then you’ve still got Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Jadeja, and who else will come out—another five, I’m not sure,” “But it’s a pretty amazing line-up they’ve got, so it’s going to be a massive challenge. As I said, if we, as a bowling group, are good enough for long periods, hopefully, we can challenge their defence,” Also Read | Rohit, Virat, and Yashasvi Climb in the ICC Test Rankings Ladder Team India returns to Test cricket for the first time in six months, after beating England at home in their last assignment. Rohit Sharma performed decent with two hundreds in his pocket. While Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant pulled out of that series. Kohli left for his son's birth, while Pant was still recovering from his car accident. Nathan Lyon has even appreciated Ravichandran Ashwin and also says that he loves to watch him bowl. “I’ve always said throughout my whole career I want to compete against the best and you look through the whole Indian line-up, the whole squad, there’s absolute superstars everywhere you look and you want to compete and challenge yourself against them and I know Ashwin and we debuted around similar times and we’ve competed against each other in a number of series now and between me and Ashwin I have got nothing but respect for him," “I feel like I love watching him bowl, he’s an absolute master in the craft of off-spin bowling and it’s been an absolute privilege to play against him and learn off him. Pretty exciting, it’s obviously a massive summer for us out here so can’t wait to have the Indian guys out here,” Also Read | ICC Report: 2023 ODI World Cup Generated Economic Impact of $1.39 Billion in India
