Former Australia fast bowler and commentator Brett Lee has predicted “big things” for the Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Rohit Sharma ahead of the big-ticket Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 opening clash between the defending champions MI and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on 19th September (Saturday) in Abu Dhabi.
At the moment, Lee is in Mumbai as part of the IPL 2020 broadcasting team and before the start of the IPL 2020, the former cricketer recently engaged with fans in a Q&A session on Instagram and he was asked by a fan to name the “most dangerous batsmen in the world till date.”

Well, the Aussie who had played for Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders in the past took India’s stylish opening batsman and MI skipper Rohit’s name by saying “I’m predicting big things for Rohit Sharma this IPL” on his Instagram story.
Earlier, Lee had said on Star Sports show ‘Cricket Connected’ for Rohit: “The most important thing for Rohit Sharma is firstly to score runs for Mumbai Indians. He has got to be a good leader but I think being a good leader is a combination of leading from the front in terms of scoring runs and hopefully, the rest of the team will take care of itself.”
Noteworthy, the right-hander is the most successful captain of IPL with four titles to his name as well as is the third-highest run-scorer of IPL with 4898 runs in 188 matches at a strike rate of 130.82. He has also hit 194 sixes – the second-most by an Indian – in the IPL.
Rohit has also confirmed that he will continue to open the batting for MI in the IPL 13 in the UAE.
