Mumbai: Former Australian pacer Brett Lee has heaped praise on rookie Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) fast bowler Shivam Mavi, saying he is the future of Indian bowling.
Mavi, who was part of the World Cup-winning U-19 team led by Prithvi Shaw, had impressed everyone with his performance and has already taken three wickets from the seven games he played in the ongoing IPL for the Kolkata franchise
“I think Mavi has got everything. His actions are beautiful and he packs himself as a fully furnished bowler. With youngsters like Mavi, it’s extremely important to play with confidence, enjoying the spirit of the game,” Lee, a Star Sports expert, was quoted as saying.
“He knows what he is doing and it looks like he really enjoys his cricket. I think Mavi for me is the future for Indian bowlers.”
KKR, currently on the third spot will next play against defending champions Mumbai Indians Sunday at the Wankhede Stadium here.
