India captain Virat Kohli is arguably one of the best batsmen among the current crop of world cricketers.

Kohli seems to have become the epitome of comparison for cricketers all around the world. Many cricketers consider Kohli to be an idol and look up to him. Likewise, Bangladesh batsman Sabbir Rahman, after a wonderful half-century against Australia during the second Test in Chittagong on Monday, was compared to Kohli by Australia spinner Nathan Lyon.

When Sabbir was asked about such high-praise, the Bangladesh player said it is possible for him to become a batsman like Kohli. "I can become a batsman like Virat Kohli, everything is possible," Sabbir said.
