Brett Lee, renowned for his thunderous pace and lethal bowling prowess, has carved a storied career as one of Australia’s greatest fast bowlers. Known for his aggressive style and ability to consistently trouble batters with sheer speed, Lee’s career spanned over a decade, marked by numerous accolades and memorable performances on the cricket field.

Brett Lee identifies the best bowler across all formats

In a recent statement, Lee has hailed Indian cricket star Jasprit Bumrah as the premier bowler in contemporary cricket across all formats. Lee emphasized Bumrah’s versatility and impact, describing him as ‘simply exceptional.’

Lee’s praise comes on the heels of Bumrah’s stellar performance at the 2024 T20 World Cup, where the Indian pacer was named Player of the Tournament for his exceptional bowling statistics. Bumrah’s ability to consistently take wickets while maintaining an impressive economy rate has solidified his reputation as a standout performer in international cricket.

“Their batting order, which includes players who can dominate at every position from top to bottom, speaks volumes. Their middle-order is loaded with power and they have hitters who can put runs on the board quickly. In my opinion, Jasprit Bumrah is simply exceptional. He is the best bowler in all formats right now and leads the attack. Bumrah can keep up an amazing pace while shaping the new ball away. His tournament performance demonstrated his leadership abilities, taking about 15 wickets with remarkable economy. He is absolutely exceptional, and India is deserving of praise for their accomplishments,” said Lee as quoted by IANS.
