Asian pitches have always been a challenge for the SENA countries as they are not used to the conditions of the largest continent. The tracks in Asia tend to provide more assistance to spinners rather than fast bowlers, and as a result, visiting nations find it quite difficult to play on these kinds of pitches. However, there are still some bowlers from outside the mainland that have performed exceptionally well in these conditions for their nation.<\/p>\n

Nathan Lyon<\/strong> recently scripted history in the third Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2023<\/a> as he created a new record of most wickets by a visiting bowler in Asia. On day 1 of the Indore Test, he picked an eleven-wicket match haul to achieve the feat.<\/p>\n

The veteran Aussie spinner has so far represented his nation in 118 Test matches picking up 479 wickets in the longest format. Lyon\u2019s record in Asia is also very impressive, as his best bowling figures came in Asia against India in the third test of the BGT 2023.<\/p>\n
