Harbhajan Singh has hailed Australia off-spinner Nathan Lyon, who took eight wickets in India's first innings in the ongoing second Test in Bengaluru. Bhajji said Lyon bowled like a real lion. The former India offie also hoped the home spinners would live up their expectations on the second day.

Lyon snared Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, and Ajinkya Rahane in a marathon 16-over first spell before sweeping away the lower-order with a remarkable second burst that yielded five wickets. His overall figures of 8 for 50 were the best by a visiting bowler in India, which was earlier held by Lance Klusener, who picked up 8 wickets for 64 at Eden Gardens in 1996. 

Harbhajan appeared clearly impressed in the manner Lyon bowled. “Hoping our bowlers 2 create th same magic tom.Nathan Lyon bowled like a real lion 🦁 @ banglore on 1st day of test cricket respect #IndvAus,” Harbhajan tweeted.
