Nathan Lyon is ready for the challenge of Rohit Sharma in the last two Test matches. The star Indian batsman is expected to play at Sydney and Lyon has asserted that Australia will certainly make plans for him. Rohit has a stellar record against Australia in white-ball cricket but is still to score an overseas Test ton.
Team India management and fans have high hopes from Rohit who is now completely fit and raring to go. The Aussie off-spinner has always had the wood over Indian batsmen in Test cricket. However, in the ongoing series, the Indian batsmen have handled him better and scored freely against him.
