Nathan Lyon gets heartfelt wish from daughters on 100th Test feat despite cheating on wife

The Australian Cricket Team have always boasted of a formidable bowling attack over the years. While there was a significant void in their spin department after the retirement of Shane Warne, finger-spinner Nathan Lyon, since his debut in 2011, has established himself as a mainstay in the national side, especially in the longer format. The ongoing India vs Australia 4th Test is a momentous fixture for the talented spinner, as it is also his 100th Test. The player also received a special wish from his daughters on achieving the milestone.
