Shoaib Akhtar responds to Brett Lee praising him on Kapil Sharma Show

Former Pakistan fast bowler, dubbed as the Rawalpindi Express, Shoaib Akhtar responded to Australian quickie Brett Lee praising him recently on the Kapil Sharma Show.

In a clip that went viral on social media, Lee tells Sharma about a time when he faced him as a batsman. He narrated how Akhtar looked menacing as he strode in to bowl to Lee and bowled him a ferocious delivery that hit him straight on the foot.

“Even I appealed to the umpire, I said,’How’s that? That has got to be out,'” he said, sending the audience into hysterical laughter. “The silly umpire did not give that out.”

Shoaib took to Twitter and acknowledged Lee as a terror on the field for many batsmen as well.

Binga being very humble there honestly. @BrettLee_58 himself was quite a terror on the field for the batsmen of that era. #BrettLee #ExpressFast #Australia pic.twitter.com/pzHTg41qMF
