The Australian Nathan Lyon is one of the best off-spinners right now, and the best batters in the game have trouble with his tricky turn. The experienced bowler, who is 36 years old, recently became the eighth person to take 500 wickets in Test cricket.
Nathan Lyon Names Kohli, Tendulkar, and De Villiers as Toughest Batsmen
After beating some of the best batters, Lyon chose the best batsmen he has faced in his successful ten-year Test career. He also talked about the plans and methods he uses to get rid of these players. So, Lyon decided to name three players as the best players he has played against when asked on Sydney Cricket Ground’s social media account to name the best player he has played against.
Thus, the were Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar, and AB de Villiers. “So, It’s hard to say who the best player I’ve played against is.” I’ve played against some of the best players ever. There are three names I can give you: Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar, and AB de Villiers. Lyon also said that the best way to get rid of these batsmen is to keep trying their defensive skills for a long time.
“The secret to get them out, something that I struggle to do would be trying to challenge their defence for a long period of time,” said Lyon. In the 23 Tests that India and Australia played, the off-spinner took Virat Kohli’s wicket seven times. Lyon also got rid of the great Sachin Tendulkar four times in six Test matches from 2011 to 2013. He is the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023’s player of the event.
