“I think he can do all facets. The thing with Arjun Tendulkar is I have been super impressed. I feel he has been in wonderful fine form for the Mumbai Indians. His new-ball bowling is outstanding, he is swinging the ball, he is getting the most swing out of the Mumbai Indians. He is well-suited for the middle overs and with experience he will enjoy bowling at the death overs. I am all praise for him.”

Brett Lee advises Arjun Tendulkar to shut out the critics

In the same interview, Brett Lee had a piece of advice for 23-year-old Arjun Tendulkar, which was to focus on his game and block out the noise.

Arjun was, unsurprisingly, criticized and trolled following his 31-run over against PBKS.

Lee said that Tendulkar has his whole career ahead of him, so he should not heed much to what the critics say.

“People criticise almost everything. He is only 23 years of age and he has got his whole career ahead of him. My advice will be don’t listen to critics,” he said.

Highlighting how even his father, the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, too had to deal with critics, Brett Lee continued:

Like his dad had to go through like he misses out and gets a low score…you got to back yourself. He has got some wonderful skills.”
