“He was flamboyant and aggressive but my first memory of Rohit Sharma was the sound of his bat. That’s the first thing I could think of; the knock of the bat from people hitting the ball right off the center it’s a different sound,” Lee said.

Lee says Rohit Sharma is a class act and names him amongst few players who can see off the difficult phase and then cash-in on it.

“He is the kind of guy who is so mentally switched on, that once he gets through the tough period, he cashes in. When you got guys like Sharma at the top of the order, who can dominate from early on, they are the guys I don’t want to bowl to. He is definitely in that class,” Lee added.
