If You Get Under His Skin, You Know He Will Be Batting Out There Forever – Brett Lee Reveals Why Aussies Never Sledged Sachin Tendulkar

Legendary Australia National Cricket Team pace bowler Brett Lee has made a revelation on why the Australia National Cricket Team never tried to sledge the legendary India National Cricket Team batter, Sachin Tendulkar, during the high-profile games between the Aussies and the Men In Blue.

Sachin Tendulkar is the most prolific run-maker of all time and arguably the biggest cricket icon the game has ever known. During his playing days, Sachin was part of many high-voltage games between India and Australia.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Lee said that Tendulkar is a completely different personality on the field. He added that Tendulkar, while batting, has the eyes of a tiger and he is always ready to get into the battle. He said:

“Sachin Tendulkar on the field is completely different to what he is off it. When you bowl at him, you look into his eyes, the eyes of a tiger. He wants it, wants to get into the battle.”

He further revealed why Australia never tried to sledge him and said:

“We always told each other, ‘Don’t speak to Sachin when he is batting.’ Because if you get under his skin by trying to sledge him, you know he will be batting out there forever.”
