Attackers Target Virat Kohli in Australia's Brilliant Showing Against Pakistan
In an intriguing conversation during the Legends League Cricket, former Australian pace bowler Brett Lee shared his thoughts on the ongoing T20 World Cup and two of the world's top batsmen - Virat Kohli and David Warner.
Lee began by expressing his belief that Kohli's critics often overlook his exceptional records and performances. He praised Kohli's 82 runs in India's recent match against Pakistan, stating that such performances are testament to the Indian captain's enduring talent.
Turning his attention to Warner, Lee expressed hope that the Australian batsman could be considered for future captaincy roles. Despite the ball-tampering episode and the subsequent ban on his leadership role, Lee believes Warner deserves every opportunity to lead Australia. He spoke highly of Warner's cricket brain, stating that he possesses the necessary qualities to guide a team effectively.
Lee acknowledged the absence of Jasprit Bumrah as a significant loss for India, but expressed confidence in Mohammed Shami as a suitable replacement. He believes that India needs to bowl well in the last five overs to secure victories, and Shami's skills could play a crucial role in achieving this.
In a lighter moment, Lee admitted to finding it entertaining when Kohli was criticised, but quickly added that he has no concerns about Warner potentially leading Australia in the future. He also expressed his belief that it is difficult to keep Kohli down for a long time, highlighting the Indian captain's resilience and determination.
Lee's comments have sparked debate among cricket fans, with many agreeing with his assessments of Kohli and Warner, while others question the wisdom of considering Warner for future captaincy roles given his past indiscretions. Regardless, Lee's insights offer a fascinating perspective on two of the game's most influential players and the ongoing T20 World Cup.
