Border-Gavaskar Trophy Nathan Lyon is determined to turn things around
The Australian cricket team is determined to resolve a decade of unfinished business in their pursuit of reclaiming the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Australia has not held the Border-Gavaskar Trophy since the 2014–15 series, which they won 2-0. Since then, they have suffered consecutive series defeats to India on home soil.
Current captain Pat Cummins, along with others, has yet to lift the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, despite claiming the World Test Championship title in the one-off match at The Oval last year.
Nathan Lyon said, “It’s been ten years of unfinished business; it’s been a long time, and I know we’re extremely hungry to turn things around, especially here at home.”
“Don’t get me wrong, India is an absolute superstar side and extremely challenging, but I’m extremely hungry to turn things around and make sure we get that trophy back,” he added.
“It feels like we are a different team than a couple of years ago; we are on a journey to becoming a great Australian cricket team. We’re definitely not there, but we are along that journey and have been playing some decent cricket,” the 36-year-old off-spinner said.
He also praised the ability of India to produce some world-class players and singled out Yashasvi Jaiswal among the newer names.
