Former Australia pacer Brett Lee picks Steve Smith over Virat Kohli as the better player

Former Australia pacer Brett Lee has picked Steve Smith over Virat Kohli when asked to choose between the two. Lee said he chose Smith based on all that the Australian batsman had gone through in his career.

In an Instagram Live, ex-Zimbabwe cricketer and commentator Pommie Mbangwa asked Lee to pick between Kohli and Smith.

Lee jokingly said he needed a glass of water since he required time to make his pick. “Look, it is so hard to pick because there are a lot of qualities in both that I enjoy. I try and look at from the bowling point of view, are there any flaws that I would try and exploit and there are very little,” he said.
