In subcontinent conditions where Australians have struggled in the recent times, Lyon has been a hope for them. His 7 for 94 in the second Test against Bangladesh at Chittagong, a must-win match for the visitors after going down by 20 runs at Mirpur in the first Test last week, bears testimony to that. Lyon, who claimed the first 4 Bangladeshi wickets was then counterattacked by <a href="http://www.cricketcountry.com/players/sabbir-rahman" target="_blank">Sabbir Rahman</a>. Following the assault, Lyon made a massive statement, comparing Sabbir to India s <a href="http://www.cricketcountry.com/players/virat-kohli" target="_blank">Virat Kohli</a>. <strong>ALSO READ: <a title="Nathan Lyon admits 2nd Test against Bangladesh his most physically taxing" href="http://www.cricketcountry.com/news/nathan-lyon-admits-2nd-test-against-bangladesh-his-most-physically-taxing-for-australia-639367">Lyon admits 2nd Test against Bangladesh his most physically taxing</a></strong> <p></p> <p></p>Kohli is regarded as one of the best batters in the world cricket at this moment and may end up as India s greatest. Sabbir s 66 and the 105-run sixth wicket stand with skipper Mushfiqur Rahim guided Bangladesh s recovery. Lyon complemented the batsman as brave and said, He is a good player, he reminds me of Virat Kohli. [Kohli] is probably a pretty good role model to have in the subcontinent. That s only on [Sabbir s] persona out there and the way he walks around the crease and the shots he s played here. We find [Sabbir] doesn t really want to defend, he wants to take the game on and that s brave cricket. <p></p> <p></p> He batted pretty well today. He played some nice shots. He was lucky here and there but you need a bit of luck in cricket. I had a bit of luck today with the stumping, it probably wasn't the best ball I have ever bowled in Test cricket. He s a good cricketer, we re definitely paying him a lot of respect that's for sure. <p></p> <p></p>Sabbir made his Test debut against England in October 2016. He impressed all with 64 not out that took Bangladesh to the brink of a historic win. He didn t get enough support as the hosts fell short by 22 runs. However, they came back hard in the second Test to win it and square the series 1-1.
