India have held onto the coveted Border-Gavaskar Trophy since March 2017.
India have won the last two Test series on Australian soil, while they have held onto the coveted Border-Gavaskar Trophy since March 2017.
However, the Australian team is determined to turn things around in the forthcoming home series, as acknowledged by veteran spinner Nathan Lyon.
"It's been ten years of unfinished business, it's been a long time, and I know we're extremely hungry to turn things around especially here at home," Lyon was quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
"Don't get me wrong, India is an absolute superstar side and extremely challenging but I'm extremely hungry to turn things around and make sure we get that trophy back," he added.
"Feel like we are a different team to a couple of years ago, we are on a journey of becoming a great Australian cricket team. We're definitely not there but we are along that journey and have been playing some decent cricket," he continued.
The off-spinner namedropped Yashasvi Jaiswal while praising India's ability to produce world-class players.
"I haven't come across him [Jaiswal] yet, but that will be a massive challenge for all us bowlers," Lyon said.
Nathan Lyon is keen to make use of the insights he gained from England's Tom Hartley during his time with Lancashire as he prepares to bowl to the quality Indian batters later this year.
"The way he played against England, I watched that quite closely and thought that was quite amazing. I had some really good chats with Tom Hartley about different ways he went about it to different guys which I found quite interesting," Lyon stated.
"I love talking about cricket, so if I can talk to someone who has played Test cricket I might be able to pick up something I'm not aware of. There's so much knowledge floating around this game that we can always tap into," he further remarked.
Lyon knows that this could work in reverse for next year's Ashes, but when asked if he thought the conversations about India would prove valuable, he added, "If the plans we've spoken about come true, then I think it will be."
