Sabbir said he could become a batsman like Kohli
Bangladesh batsman Sabbir Rahman struck an impressive fifty against Australia on Day 1 of the 2nd Test at Chittagong. After off-spinner Nathan Lyon decimated the hosts' top order, Sabbir and Mushfiqur Rahim put on 105 for the sixth wicket to steady the hosts. They displayed contrasting styles in their stand, with Sabbir playing adventurous shots and Mushfiqur anchoring. Sabbir scored his 50 off only 62 balls but slowed as Mushfiqur became more confident, smashing his own half-century off 124 balls. After the day's play, Lyon made an interesting observation about Sabbir. "He's a good player, he reminds me of Virat Kohli," said Lyon. When asked about the Australian's remarks, the 25-year-old responded, "I can become a batsman like Virat Kohli, everything is possible. But contributing to the team is more important than being compared to someone else."
As the comments from Chittagong trickled in, some fans had a bit of fun at Sabbir's expense while others had words of advice for him.Â
It's praiseworthy that u r dreaming big. But please don't declare it officially like this! Better don't try to b Kohli, try to b "Sabbir"

Everything is possible only if you perform consistently like him instead of consistently running your mouth
