Even though Australia and India both had issues with reviews in this match, Lyon will have been happy to have had plenty in reserve on the second day at Holkar Stadium.
He yelled lbw appeals twice while on his knees and being surrounded by the phalanx of near catchers. Against Ravindra Jadeja in the first, and R. Ashwin in the second. On the latter time, just as he had finished pleading, he signalled for the review himself, and Steven Smith then officially announced it.
The DRS has been active during this Test, however it should be noted that umpiring in these circumstances is challenging, much like batting. Replays make everything easier, even though Wilson didn’t look his best.
The not-out decisions were reversed in both cases. With the removal of Ashwin, Lyon secured his second series-high five-wicket haul and 23rd overall in Tests. As a result, he became only the second Australian bowler, after Richie Benaud, to reach 50 wickets in India.

As Lyon’s career has progressed, dealing with the expectation of bowling to win games in circumstances or situations where a spinner is expected to dominate has been easier, albeit his father gave him some advice back in 2012.
He remarked, It’s been an intriguing one. In the beginning of my career, I believe I was more conscious of the pressure of trying to win games in the final couple of innings. But it was actually my father who told me to bowl in partnerships with three or four other bowlers because that was my responsibility.
It’s more crucial that you can distinguish between days when you succeed and days when your friends succeed, the speaker said. Grab it with both hands and run when the time comes.
