Nathan Lyon's bizarre adventure searching for a lost ball in the bushes during a cricket match in Australia

During the match, a batter hit a powerful shot that sailed over the fence, prompting Lyon to go in search of the ball. After locating a white ball, Lyon realized it was not the right one. In a viral video, Lyon and his teammates can be seen scouring the field in a humorous attempt to find the missing ball, with no success.

They were later joined by some ground staff later, and were finally successful in finding the ball. Lyon had a poor outing with the bat, and was dismissed for a 18-ball duck, but bounced back with a stunning five-wicket haul, returning with figures of 24.3-8-47-5.

Lyon is also preparing for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which is scheduled to begin in Australia next month.

Speaking to Star Sports, Lyon said, "You're playing bowling against someone like Rishabh Pant, who is electric. He's got all the skills in the world. As a bowler, your room for error is so small. So you've got to be good. It's a challenge as a bowler if I'm going to get hit for six. I'm not afraid about getting hit for six. The challenge is that I can provide the batters and try and keep someone like Rishabh in his crease and potentially try and get him to defend me a lot more and hopefully bring a couple of chances along the way."

The series will begin on November 22, with the first Test in Perth. India has an upper hand, having won its previous four series vs Australia in a row, including two wins in Australia in the 2018-19 and 2020-21 seasons.

India has won the series 10 times and Australia have grabbed five victories, with their last coming in the 2014-15 season. Their last series win in India was in 2004-05.
