It seems impossible to keep Brett Lee away from music. The former Australian pacer was known for spitting fire on the field with fearsome deliveries during his playing days. But when having a guitar in his hands, Lee is completely a different person. The 47-year-old is currently in India to serve commentary duties for the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Despite having a tight schedule, Lee could not restrain when he found a grand piano in his hotel lobby. In a video shared by Lee on Instagram, the World Cup-winning cricketer can be seen showcasing his piano skills.
Demonstrating his love for music, Brett Lee wrote in the caption, “Sometimes when you see a piano, you just gotta play it. A bit of downtime in the middle of all the exciting cricket going on.”
