Tendulkar and Lee's 'biggest fan' connect

Brett Lee’s connection with India goes back a long way. He has been coming here for musical concerts with his one-time rock band. He is currently part of the commentary team in the Karnataka Premiere League.

Sometimes the on-field battles have also resulted in an occasional heated moment, like when Lee accidentally bowled a beamer that hit Tendulkar on the arm guard during the CB series in 2008. But never have the two indulged in an ugly spat – mutual respect has always been there. (Photo: AFP)

Lee found a person, whom he described as Tendulkar’s ‘biggest fan’.

Sachin was not far behind to acknowledge Lee’s gesture, but also took a sly dig at the one-time Australian spearhead.

The master blaster shared Lee’s instagram post on his official account with the caption “Thanks Binga! You've at last yorked me here... A big thank you to the fan for all his support.”

Lee considered him greater that Sudhir Kumar Chaudhury, known as Sachin’s biggest fan, who still follows the Indian cricket team like a shadow with a ‘Miss u Tendulkar’ painted on his body. (Photo: AFP)

34,347 international runs and 718 wickets between them – Sachin Tendulkar and Brett Lee are not stalwarts of the game for nothing.
