‘Every young kid looks up to RCB’: Brett Lee praises team for inspiring next generation

Former Australia pacer Brett Lee lavished praise on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) franchise, stating that every young kid wants to play for the team.
While Lee never played for RCB, the team from Bengaluru has been home to some of the biggest stars to play in the Indian Premier League, including Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle, Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis, Anil Kumble, Zaheer Khan, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Ross Taylor and Faf du Plessis.
“RCB to me is a franchise that every young kid looks up to and wants to be a part of. They look like they play hard on the field… I would say extremely hard on the field. It seems like the people involved have a lot of fun outside the field as well,” Brett Lee told RCB Insider.
Bangalore will face SunRisers Hyderabad on Thursday with a shot at making the Playoffs. Despite all their star power, the team has never won the IPL.
Lee also opened up about his admiration for RCB’s red & gold jersey.
“I like the colour red and I admire the beautiful gold on the logo so I think I could fit in RCB really nicely,” he added.
