Virat Kohli in Test cricket (x.com)
Nathan Lyon is a legend of the game, he has more than 500 Test wickets and is surely the second best Aussie spinner after the great Shane Warne. He has bamboozled top cricketers from all around the world and the fact that his most wickets have been in Australia, where the pitches are not that conducive for spin-bowling, makes him even more special.
Now, ahead of the SCG Test against Pakistan, Lyon has revealed his top-3 toughest opponents. In the video that is going rounds, Lyon reveals that he has played against some great players but if he has give his top 3, it will be - Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar and AB de Villiers.
All three are considered as genius when it comes to their batting and are respected all around the globe.
Also, all three of them have been pretty successful in Australia in all formats and have frustrated Lyon in different phases of his career.
However, he has not included the likes of Rohit Sharma, Joe Root, Kane Williamson in his list and that is probably because Rohit has not done that well in Test cricket while Root and Williamson have probably missed out because of the all-format greatness of the three players Lyon mentioned.
