Brett Lee once said he would pray before bowling to Virat Kohli. Brett Lee stated in an interview, 'First I will pray. There will be a lot of praying going. Please don't hit me for a six. Virat Kohli is so powerful. He is strong in all parts of the field. He is a 360-degree player. If in One day cricket you have to detain him or make him not score runs, I would probably bowl the wide line yorker. If he tries to hit me over cover, I will push it wide.'
Talking about Virat Kohli's on-pitch approach, Brett Lee said, 'He is brilliant on the pitch. He has got that control and aggression. I love the way he plays cricket. I think he is passionate, he doesn't go over the line and he is the best batsman in the world currently.'
