Focus not just on Kohli or Bumrah: Indian team is a group of superstars, says Lyon

Deccan Chronicle  

Adelaide: India is a team of superstars, and Australia is not focused on countering just 'extraordinary' players like Jasprit Bumrah and Virat Kohli, but the entire group as everyone is incredibly talented, spinner Nathan Lyon said on Wednesday. In the buildup to the Border Gavasakar Trophy and post India's emphatic 295-run with the series-opener in Perth, the chatter has revolved around specific Indian players including Kohli and Bumrah. India boasts extraordinary players like Bumrah and others, but it's not just about the superstars," Lyon said ahead of the pink ball Test here. Seasoned India off-spinner R Ashwin, who has 536 Test wickets, could not find space in India's playing XI in Perth with the tourists opting to play all-rounder Washington Sundar as the sole spin option.
