IND vs AUS: The first match of the five-match Test series between India and Australia will be played in Perth on November 22. This series is very important for both the teams, as it is not only a battle of prestige for the teams, but is also special in terms of individual performance. In this series, a different contest will be seen between India's star spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and Australia's legendary off-spinner Nathan Lyon. This contest is to take the most wickets in Test cricket.

Ashwin vs Lyon: Who will be ahead?

Both Ravichandran Ashwin and Nathan Lyon are among the best spin bowlers of the current era of Test cricket. Ashwin has so far taken 536 wickets in 199 innings of 105 Test matches, while Lyon has taken 530 wickets in 242 innings of 129 Test matches. Ashwin is currently the highest wicket-taker among active players, but Lyon has come close to him.

If Lyon takes 7 wickets in this series, he will overtake Ashwin and reach the top of the list of active players. At the same time, if Ashwin maintains his form, he can further strengthen his lead.

Ashwin's number 1 crown in danger

Ashwin is not only at the top of the list of active players, but he is also at the 7th position in the all-time list of bowlers with the most wickets in Test cricket. Lyon is at the 8th position in this list. This series is a big opportunity for Lyon, as he has the opportunity to play all five matches. On the other hand, Ashwin is less likely to play in every match, as India sometimes changes the team combination according to the pitch in their playing XI.

The success of the team will depend on the performance of both

This match will not be limited to individual records, but the performance of both the bowlers will play an important role in the success of their respective teams. Ashwin is known for his lethal bowling in the Indian subcontinent, while Lyon has proven himself on the fast and bouncy pitches of Australia.
