The love for Brett Lee in India has reached a new level; a level so high that an Indian daily didn’t bother thinking twice before calling him an Indian. Brett Lee though seemed to have enjoyed the title and took to twitter to troll the Indian media website for it. Brett Lee, who is in India now as a mentor for a Tamil Nadu Premier League team gave an interview to The Hindu praising the Indian superstar Virat Kohli. Zeenews in their report of the interview called Brett Lee an Indian.

The reaction from his fans were quite obviously hilarious. One of his followers reminded Brett Lee of an earlier such blunder where an Indian newspaper termed his Aussie team-mate to be Sunny Leone.

Brett Lee seemed to be enjoying being an Indian and even wanted to open India’s bowling attack with the new ball. He tweeted “I’m taking it as a compliment ! Ha! Happy to take the new ball for India in 4 years time”

One of his fan reminded Brett Lee that it the paper might have taken India as his second home quite seriously.
You consider India as your second home and probably they took it seriously

Many welcomed Brett Lee to actually bowl for India. Brett Lee, who was recently seen in the TV show ‘Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai’ likes visiting India and has an affection towards his Indian fan base. Hope we don’t get to see the ‘Indian’ Brett Lee again not at least in a website like Zeenews.
