News summary

Australia's veteran spinner Nathan Lyon has expressed his acceptance of being compared to the legendary Shane Warne, acknowledging the immense pressure he faced early in his career. Despite having played 129 Test matches and taken 530 wickets, Lyon admitted that the shadow of Warne, who holds a record of 708 wickets, loomed large over him. He initially struggled to meet the expectations from the media and fans but has since come to view this pressure as a privilege. Lyon, now comfortable with his standing, stated, 'I'm never going to be able to do what Warnie did,' emphasizing Warne's unique talent. As he prepares for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India, Lyon is just 34 wickets shy of surpassing Glenn McGrath to become Australia's second-highest wicket-taker in Tests. His journey reflects a broader narrative of adapting to legacy and personal growth within the sport.
