"Hard To See Past Virat Kohli" Among Recent Greats, Says Brett Lee

Former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee applauded Virat Kohlis "great mindset" and "great cricket brain", marking him as the greatest among the current crop.

The debate on who is the best batsman of the current generation seems to be a never ending one. Everyone has their favourites with most leaning towards their own countrymen. However, that is not the case with former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee. The Aussie is quite clear that when it comes to recent greats of the game, it's "hard to look past Virat Kohli". Praising the India captain's "great mindset" and "great cricket brain", Lee feels Virat Kohli is only getting better with age.  "When you look at the recent greats, it is hard to look past Virat Kohli. What an incredible record he has got. He is only getting better with age. He has got a great mindset, a great cricket brain as well," Brett Lee said in an International Cricket Council (ICC) media release.  The ex-Australian quick, who was asked about his favourite batter, failed to choose between Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara.  "My favourite Test batters from the time that I was playing would be Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara," said Lee.
