Lee picks India as the title favourite, expects Rahul and Shami to perform well
Former Australia pacer Brett Lee said David Warner’s confidence may have taken a beating after the harsh treatment meted out to him by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the IPL but asserted that the opener is a big match player who will be the key to the team’s success in T20 World Cup.
Lee exhorted the Aussies to change the statistics since they are yet to win a T20 World title. Australia begins its campaign against South Africa on Saturday.
“We have not had a lot of success in this format — it is time we changed it and we do have a side that can take it all the way. It obviously won’t be easy, especially when you look at how strong teams like England, India and New Zealand are,” Lee wrote in a column for the ICC.
