This injured player came to bat even when he was not able to walk properly

Australian offspinner Nathan Lyon came to bat at number 10 even when he was not able to walk properly. He scored 15 runs and added valuable runs for the team. He suffered a calf injury while he was fielding in the 2nd Test Match playing against England.

The second test match was Nathan Lyon’s 100 consecutive test matches. Now, due to his injury, he has been ruled out of the Ashes 2023. Another player, Todd Murphy named as his replacement.

Australia are 2-0 lead in the series. They played really good cricket and in their previous game, they won by 43 on 5th day of the 2nd test match.

Nathan Lyon said, “I knew the risk of batting, but I’d do anything for my team. If it was tomorrow, I’d do it again, and again, and again for my country”.

This shows how well he is determined for his team and is ready to give his best for the team. He earns praises from the fans and the cricket experts.

Fans made funny tweets on Bairstow’s runout. It was a controversial one.
