IPL 2022: Brett Lee lauds Malik’s simple approach to the bowling crease
Lee further opined that Malik’s approach to bowling crease is uncomplicated and easy to eyes. That’s what makes him special. “For me, it is all about the approach. When you look at an aeroplane take off, what do you see first and foremost? It is the approach, the build-up of speed and then it takes off.
That is what makes a good fast bowler. The approach, you see him about 35m away from the batter. He gets going, pumps the arms and legs, runs in like a sprinter, and then delivers that ball at a fearful pace. That is what I love about him,” he said.
