Australian off-spinner Nathan Lyon destroyed India’s batting line-up on day one of the second Test in Bengaluru, finishing with stunning figures of 8/50 from 22.2 overs.
Lyon’s haul is the best of any bowler to tour India and the sixth-best figures by an Australian in Test history.
After the hosts won the toss and elected to bat, Lyon claimed the big scalps of Cheteshwar Pujara and captain Virat Kohli, before running through the middle and lower order to trigger a spectacular collapse by the Indians.
