Premier Australia off-spinner Nathan Lyon has named an Indian batter whom he feels is a privilege to play against. He called Virat Kohli the best in the world and said that playing against him feels like playing against the nation.
Virat Kohli to play a crucial role for India in Border-Gavaskar Trophy
Indian batter Virat Kohli is considered one of the best batters to have played the game of cricket. After struggling in the initial phase of his career, the right-hander wrote a story of his own, which has seen turning him into the King of cricket.
When Sachin Tendulkar retired from cricket, no one in the world would break his records. But with the way Virat Kohli made himself a name, he has already shattered many records of him and with the way he’s going, he is expected to break more records as well.
There’s no doubt Virat Kohli will be crucial to India’s chances in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and it’s fair to say that Australia will plan differently against him. The right-hander has been India’s backbone since the last decade and has been carrying the team almost single-handedly.
In the first Test against Australia, he was unlucky as he was dismissed cheaply down the leg side. He looked good for his 12-run knock as he played few staggering shots in his 46-ball knock. With the next match being slated at his home ground, Delhi, it’s fair to say that we can be in for a Virat special.
“Coming against him feels like you have got a nation against you,” Nathan Lyon says playing against Virat Kohli is a privilege
Australian off-spinner Nathan Lyon has lavished rich praise on Virat Kohli. He said that playing against the batters feels like you have got a nation against you.
Speaking about Kohli, he said: “Virat Kohli is one of the best in the world, coming against him feels like you have got a nation against you, it’s a privilege to play against him”.
