Daniel Vettori on Sunday said Nathan Lyon's ability to combine spin with bounce makes him a lethal weapon on turning pitches -- and for years to come. The 34-year-old Lyon towered above the Sri Lankan spinners in the team's thrashing of the hosts in the recent opening Test in Galle to return with match figures of 9-121. The performance took Lyon into the top 10 leading wicket-takers of all time with 436 wickets in 109 Tests.
Taking to Twitter, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) mentioned all the records achieved by the former spinner and wrote, "367 intl. games, 711 intl. wickets and 3,569 intl. runs 1st Indian to scalp a Test hat-trick 2007 World T20 & 2011 World Cup-winner Here's wishing @harbhajan_singh- one of the finest to represent #TeamIndia - a very happy birthday."

Jadeja's ton justifies team's decision in selecting him over AshwinThe last four months have been a bit of a roller-coaster ride for Ravindra Jadeja. He came back in style after missing the tour of South Africa to score 175 vs Sri Lanka and pick nine wickets in the Test at Mohali to cap one of the great solo all-round performances by an Indian player in a Test.

Batter Travis Head said his off-spin is going to be worked into Australia's strategy for the second Test against Sri Lanka after he bagged an unlikely four wickets in the series opener. Head, a left-hand batter and an occasional bowler, returned figures of 4-10 to match lead spinner Nathan Lyon's second innings wicket haul in Friday's three-day thrashing of the hosts at Galle. The middle-order batter was only declared fit just ahead of the first Test after he missed the fifth one-day international due to a hamstring injury.
