Former Australian cricketer Brett Lee is very happy with India’s young fast bowler Mayank Yadav. Let us tell you that in the Indian Premier League 2024, Mayank Yadav had won the hearts of all the fans by bowling brilliantly for Lucknow Super Giants. Mayank Yadav has the ability to bowl at a speed of 150 KMPH continuously and trouble the batsmen.

According to Brett Lee, the Indian team should also include Mayank Yadav in the squad in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. According to Brett Lee, if Mohammed Shami is not completely fit before this Test series, then Mayank Yadav can be included in the team in his place. The five-match Test series against Australia is starting from November 22 in Perth. The team management is also keeping a close watch on Mayank Yadav and if he remains completely fit then he can also be included in Team India.

Brett Lee told Fox Cricket, ‘The best thing about me is that I work continuously in the IPL and I have seen many good young Indian players playing. I saw Mayank Yadav in his first match and the young player bowled at a speed of 157 KMPH in his very first match. The franchise should have given him a chance a little sooner.

The best thing with India is that they are not worried about whether a player has played much cricket or not played it at all. If the player is ready then he is included in the team and I am also very happy with this. I can tell you that if you are bowling at a speed of 135-140 KMPH then the batsmen also feel fine but if you are bowling at a faster pace then they face problems. Mayank Yadav is a complete package and if Mohammed Shami is not ready then he should be included in the team.

Mohammed Shami can prove to be important for Team India: Brett Lee

The former Australian bowler further said, ‘Ashwin is also approaching 600 wickets and when it comes to spin, there is no better bowler than him. Not only this, Ashwin can bowl with the new ball also but I feel that if Team India has to win the match, then there will be a lot of responsibility on Shami.

We all know Jasprit Bumrah and he can be seen bowling excellently against any team with his lethal bowling. Mohammad Siraj can also bowl brilliantly with the new ball.

‘Jasprit Bumrah is a joke’ – shocking statement of former English bowler after Perth Test

Jasprit Bumrah (Photo Source: Getty Images) In the first Test played in Perth, India recovered from a bad start and defeated Australia by 295 runs. Bumrah took 8 wickets in both the innings of that Test match and for this he was chosen Player of the Match. In the match, India achieved a spectacular victory within four days and took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. After seeing the brilliant bowling in that match, former England cricket team fast bowler Steven Finn has praised Jasprit Bumrah’s performance in the first Test match against Australia. Finn praised him a lot and even said that he is the best player in the world. Speaking with former England captain Alastair Cook on TNT Sports, Steven Finn said, “Jaiswal scored a brilliant 161, but he is the player I like to watch. That is Jasprit Bumrah. I think he really is the best player in the world. Honestly, sometimes I think bowling like him is a joke! You see him bowling and you just think, I’m glad I don’t have to come out to bat.” He further said, “I was surprised that India went there (Australia) and defeated Australia, where usually it is very difficult to go and play cricket. Perth, I know it’s not the WACA; I know it’s a new stadium, but still, historically, Australia hasn’t lost many matches there. I thought India performed very bravely there.” Let us tell you that, Bumrah now has 118 wickets in 27 Test matches in SENA countries at an impressive average of 22.55, which also includes his career best performance (6/33). During this period, he has taken five wicket hauls 7 times, which is equal to Kapil Dev.
