"I have bowled to Sachin, Virat and Sehwag, but would like to test myself against him"- Breet Lee's massive statement for Indian superstar

 

There have been many ferocious bowlers in the history of cricket who have always dominated the opposition batters. But not many could have matched the skill-set Brett Lee brought to the game. He was definitely among the best fast bowlers that the game has ever seen.

He was able to take wickets by bowling at a rapid pace and he was always in the face of the batters. In his 13-year-superb career, he represented Australia in 76 Tests, 221 ODIs, and 25 T20Is and picked up 310 Test wickets, 380 ODIs, and 28 T20I wickets.

He always enjoyed bowling against India, especially against Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, Yuvraj Singh and other legends. He has played 12 Tests against India, picking up 53 wickets and 55 ODI wickets in 32 games. His battles against Sachin and Sehwag were always enjoyed by the fans.

Despite having bowled to some Indian legends, Lee still wishes to bowl to a current Indian superstar.In an interaction on sportsbet.io, Lee said if he gets a chance, he would like to bowl to a current Indian batter even if he goes for six or a boundary.

While interacting with the fans, he said, "I had the pleasure of playing against Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli at the start of his career, (even) Virender Sehwag.. I think someone like Rishabh Pant would be very exciting to bowl to."

He further prasied the 24-year-old, saying that Pant is very aggressive and walks around the crease a lot more. That is the reason that he wanted to challenge himself against Pant. Furthermore, he said that he has interacted with the 24-year-old a few times and loves the way he bats. He concluded, "It very hard to bowl him to. He would probably hit me for a six, but that's ok!"

Pant, who is India's first-choice wicket-keeper across formats, caught the attention after his heroics in the Test series against Australia. He won a few matches single-handedly and then went on to do it regularly in SENA countries. He has already scored five centuries in the longest format and played 27 ODIs and 54 T20Is so far in his career.
