Mumbai: Former Australian speedster Brett Lee on Sunday said he was impressed with the fearless attitude of the Indian youngsters in the ongoing Test series against England.
“I have been really impressed with the new Indian side. They are playing fearless cricket and that happens only when you get new people into the team. It is not that they been in the team for a while and they are worried about not performing.
“You get these young guys in and they just don’t care. They just go out there and think I am gonna give my best shot, hundred per cent. They are doing so well. I think India have found a great bunch of people now,” Lee told PTI at the Brett Lee Mewsic India foundation event.
The 37-year-old former pacer said he has been particularly impressed with the performance of lanky Indian fast bowler Ishant Sharma, who dished out a brilliant spell at the Lord’s to win the second cricket Test match for India.
“If you get seven wickets at Lords, you are doing a pretty good job. I have been really impressed. He is a great guy. First and foremost he is a wonderful fellow. He has got good pace, a good height and he is using that bouncer so well,” Lee said.
“(Skipper Mahendra Singh) Dhoni knew on the back of his mind that was the wicket to pitch short on and try and ruffle up things for the batsmen,” he said. (PTI)
