Dangal in KPL: Watch Brett Lee showing off wrestling skills in India

Former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee is no stranger to taking on his opponents on the cricket field with his fear-inflicting pace. However, on Friday, September 8, the 40-year-old was at a wrestling ring, battling against local wrestlers in Mysuru, one of the most populous cities in Karnataka.

Lee proves his mettle inside the ring

Lee, who is part of the television commentary panel for the ongoing Karnataka Premier League (KPL 2017), approached the bout in a professional manner by bending down to touch the ground before entering the ring.

The pacer, sporting a grey shorts and a blue tee shirt, was reportedly greeted to a loud cheer from the crowd that had gathered to watch the legendary Australian fast bowler showcase his wrestling skills.

Surprisingly, Lee is seen winning a mini battle against his opponent - one of the trained wrestlers at the venue. A video clip of the cricketer slamming down the wrestler was uploaded by the official Twitter handle of KPL.
