The countdown has begun for the highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Test series between India and Australia, set to kick off on November 22. This series holds special significance as it will mark the final Border-Gavaskar showdown for two of the most successful spinners in Test cricket history: Ravichandran Ashwin of India and Nathan Lyon of Australia. As both seasoned bowlers near the twilight of their careers, the battle for supremacy on Indian soil has reached its peak.

For both Lyon and Ashwin, this series will not only be their last clash in the prestigious series but also a defining moment in their respective careers. As of now, the two are at the pinnacle of the Border-Gavaskar Test series wicket tally, with only two wickets separating them.

Nathan Lyon’s Record: Lyon, the veteran Australian off-spinner, currently holds the top spot for most wickets in the Border-Gavaskar series. Having played 26 matches, Lyon has bowled a staggering 7378 balls and taken a total of 116 wickets. His consistency and ability to deliver in crucial moments have been key factors in Australia’s success in India, and he has earned his place as one of the greatest Test spinners.

Ravichandran Ashwin’s Challenge: Ashwin, on the other hand, is just two wickets behind Lyon with 114 wickets from 22 matches and 7163 balls. Despite playing fewer matches, Ashwin’s wicket-taking ability, especially on Indian soil, has made him a formidable force. His craft and guile have troubled many batsmen, and his record speaks for itself in terms of both performance and impact.

The Battle for Top Spot: With such a narrow margin between the two bowlers, the 2024 Border-Gavaskar series has turned into a fierce contest for the top spot between Ashwin and Lyon. Whichever spinner takes more wickets in this series will finish at the top of the list, cementing their place in Border-Gavaskar history as the most successful bowler in this prestigious contest.

The stage is set for an epic battle, and fans from both India and Australia will eagerly follow the performances of these two legends. This series promises to be not just about India vs Australia but also a captivating clash of two of the finest spinners in the modern era.
