Lion’s average is 26.70 and his strike rate is 58.05. Now Ashwin will get a chance to take a good lead from Lion by taking a few more wickets in this New Zealand series because Lion will not be in the field for the Test right now.
India and Australia will face each other in the series
The five-Test Border Gavaskar Trophy will be played between India and Australia starting next month. This series will also be part of the World Test Championship. There are high chances that Ashwin will be seen playing for India and Lion will be seen playing for Australia. At that time, these two can face each other, which will be very interesting for cricket fans. Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see how many more wickets Ashwin can add to his tally before the BGT i.e. Border Gavaskar Trophy.
