Brett Lee Issued A Big Warning To Team India Ahead Of 3rd Test: The Indian cricket team continued with their brilliant form in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series as they defeated Australia with relative ease in the second Test of the coveted series at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Rohit Sharma and Co. once again managed to end the game in 3 days as they won the game by 6 wickets.
The loss in Nagpur and New Delhi ensures Australia have conceded the trophy for the fourth successive time and their disastrous performance shows that the Australian side would only be hoping for a miracle to make a comeback in the rest of the games.
Brett Lee Issued A Big Warning
While several former cricketers and experts have criticized the performance of Aussies, however, Australia great Brett Lee sees a glimmer of hope as he has issued a big warning to Rohit Sharma and Co., asking them to stay wary of a potential threat.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Brett Lee was all praise for newbie Todd Murphy, who has so far been Australia’s only positive in the tour so far.
Notably, in his debut appearance in Nagpur, Murphy bowled a memorable spell as he picked up a record seven wickets in India’s first innings, albeit in a losing cause.
Lee hailed the brilliance of Murphy and picked him as the true successor to Nathan Lyon, who has long been the team’s primary spinner in the longest format of the game. He said:
“Who after Nathan Lyon? Well, it looks like they found their answer in the young 22-year-old superstar off-spinner Todd Murphy. What a sensational debut it was for Australia. Australia lost the match by a whopping margin but Todd Murphy made the world sit up and take notice,” said Lee.
Further, Lee recalled Murphy’s seven-wicket haul which included the likes of top batters in the format – Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ravindra Jadeja. He said:
“In the only innings that Australia bowled, he picked up 7/124. Five wickets were the wickets of KL Rahul, Ravi Ashwin, Pujara, Virat Kohli, and Ravi Jadeja. What a dream debut it was. He did so in the presence of his family all the way in Nagpur. I expect him to do better in abrasive conditions in India,”
Lee also sent out a warning to not just India but also to the world. He said: “There are a lot of tough series ahead of him. Let’s see if he’s got it or not. For the sake of Australian cricket, I really hope the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is the only first chapter of what will be an epic career. Watch out India!,”
