I thought 'Here we go again, another Sachin Tendulkar. As if one wasn't enough': Brett Lee on bowling to India great

Hindustan Times  

Former Australia pacer Brett Lee, one of the fastest bowlers of all time, has been involved in some terrific rivalries during his career. The likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Jacques Kallis, Virender Sehwag, and even Virat Kohli… all have faced Lee and were in for a real test. While Lee has always acknowledged Tendulkar as probably the toughest batter he has ever bowled to, there is one more player from India who he holds in the highest of regards - Sachin's opening partner in ODIs, Virender Sehwag. Like Tendulkar, Lee has had several unforgettable battles with Sehwag – the most famous being the 2003 Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where the former India opener blasted 195 on the opening day of the match. Sehwag went on to become an India great and possibly the second greatest opening Test batter the country has ever produced after the legendary Sunil Gavaskar.
