Brett Lee: 'Is He 15?' Biggest Talking Point on Sooryavanshi
Brett Lee is a famous fast bowler from Australia.
He was talking about a young cricket star from India named Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.
Vaibhav is only about 15 years old, which is very young for a cricket player.
People all over the world keep asking if he is really 15.
Brett Lee says he does not care how old Vaibhav is.
He thinks Vaibhav is amazing and a great find for India.
Vaibhav hit big sixes against very fast Australian bowlers in the IPL.
He even won a special award called the Orange Cap for scoring the most runs in IPL 2026.
Brett Lee says people should not put too much pressure on Vaibhav.
He wants Vaibhav to enjoy being a kid and keep playing cricket happily.
Brett Lee called Indian batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi 'incredible' and a great find for Indian cricket.
Lee said 'Is he 15?' is probably the biggest talking point about Sooryavanshi around the world.
Sooryavanshi made his India debut at 15 against England in a T20I this year, per one article.
He won the IPL 2026 Orange Cap with 776 runs from 16 matches for Rajasthan Royals and was top run-getter in a T20I series against Zimbabwe with 151 runs at a 196.10 strike-rate.
Lee advised letting Sooryavanshi be a kid, warning that only his mind, not his form, could limit him.
The 97 he scored against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL came against Australian fast bowlers, including Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc.
