Nathan Lyon who was dismissed for 13 on day 2 of the MCG Test took a DRS and strangely walked off the ground without waiting for the decision.
The Australian spinner was declared LBW out on the bowling of Jasprit Bumrah.
Lyon was Jasprit Bumrah’s fourth victim in the Boxing Day Test as the Indian pace spearhead finished with a four-wicket haul.
Earlier, the International Cricket Council (ICC) penalized Indian star batter Virat Kohli for an on-field altercation with debutant Australia batsman Sam Konstas during the Boxing Day Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Article 2.12 of the ICC Code of Conduct relates to: “inappropriate physical contact with a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other person (including a spectator during an International Match.”
