New Delhi: Australia spinner Nathan Lyon Opens up about the pressure of performing in the shadow of a “once-in-a-lifetime” star Shane Warne.
During his career which lasted from 1992 to 2007, Warne set an unparalleled record and created magic with his mastery of spin. Warne took 708 wickets in 145 games and was Australia’s top wicket-taker in Test matches.
Four years later in 2011, Lyon Warne made his debut in Australia after his retirement in 2007.
Although Lyon has had more than a dozen successful seasons with the red ball, he has occasionally felt under the influence of Vaughan.
“I still feel in the shadow of Shane Warne now, I’ve played 129 Test matches and taken 530 wickets. The fact is, I’m happy with it and I’m happy with it now. A lot of us are Feeling the pressure of being in the shadow of Shane Warne, it probably took me five, six or seven years to understand that pressure is a privilege and if you’re under pressure, you’re okay, you’re Enjoy it; Lyon told Sky Sports Cricket, according to ANI.
Lyon is Australia’s third-highest wicket-taker in Test history, taking 530 wickets in 129 games. There has been discussion about whether he can dethrone Vaughn at 36 years old.
“I can never do anything Warney Did. Warney is a once-in-a-lifetime player, in my opinion, the greatest player in the game and all I want to do is make my family proud, make Shane Warne proud and just go out and compete, “Leon added.
Lyon need just 34 more wickets to overtake Glenn McGrath and became Australia’s second-highest wicket-taker in Test matches.
Lyon will be keen to achieve the unbelievable. He will once again represent the Australian team test cricket when Border Gavaskar Trophy Starts in Perth on November 22nd.
