Brett Lee Takes On Sachin Tendulkar On A Go-Kart Track
Whenever there is an India vs Australia match, it gives a lot of entertainment to the fans in the stadium and also the television viewers. As we all know the Aussies are known for sledging, they always tend to make the batsmen uncomfortable and fight all the time.
Do that be the same when off the field?
If you ask me, I would say NO. The only quality that each and every sportsman should have respects to each other. Even the cricketers give and take respect off the field never mind what happens on the field.
In the same way, Indian legendary cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Australian legendary bowlers Bret Lee had come one on one but not in cricket, it’s on the road. Both the formers took up a friendly competition Go Karting.
Lee, who travels to India quite often, has admitted on numerous occasions that Sachin was one of the toughest batsmen to bowl to. However, it is not just on a cricket field that Sachin has got the better of Lee. By Lee’s own admission, the two legends faced off on go-karting track in 2006 in Mumbai and during his recent visit to the city, the former Australian pacer challenged Sachin to a rematch.
Lee took to Twitter to post a YouTube video of the race with a caption, “@sachin_rt and I had some great battles on the field. We recently went head to head on the Karting track in Mumbai…check it out and make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel.”
