Brett Lee On Struggle Of Facing Harbhajan Singh

Former Australian pacer, Brett Lee, stated that in a Team India filled with great Indian batters, it was a bowler who frustrated him most with his bat. Harbhajan Singh had a knack for contributing to scoreboard with some handy runs in lower order and had played some match-winning stints in process for India with bat. His ability to compete with bat irked even Brett Lee, who during a session with LiSTNR podcast revealed struggles of dismissing Singh.

"Harbhajan Singh. I hated bowling to him because he used to any hell out of me, and I've told him this. He is an absolute legend of a bloke; I hope he hears this because – and he kws – he used to frustrate sh** out of me when I bowled to him. He would sledge and he would hop in and going after me, 'You're quick'. I could never get him; I was always exhausted," he said.

"When he came in to bat, it was at wrong end of a spell. When I said, 'Mate, you're a bloody ripping bloke. Why don't you show me how good you are or how nice you are? He goes, 'because I like that edge. I want to come across as if I am arrogant, or a person who is chirping in.' So he was giving it back to us what we gave to m. Lovely guy," He added.
