India’s premier number 3 player will look to take on the greatest Australian off-spinner from the word go. Lyon has dismissed Pujara on numerous occasions and these two share a rivalry of their own. Pujara has got a lot to prove after an unsatisfactory show in England.

These two players have got a little bit of rivalry of their own and Lyon holds a very good record against the Indian number three. In 15 innings, Lyon has dismissed Pujara 5 times, giving only 281 runs. Not to mention, Nathan also holds a very good record against Kohli as well as Rahane (dismissing them 5 times each, as well).

While the 30-year-old’s performance is the key to get a well-built platform for the middle-order to capitalize on, Lyon will look to get the better of him. This is a battle to watch out for.
