A short clip of the iconic Australian fast bowler Brett Lee, disguised as an old man, has won the internet.

The speed demon of cricket who is part of the commentary panel for the ongoing Indian Premier League turned up dressed  in frayed clothes at a local park in Mumbai where a bunch of kids were playing cricket.
The 41-year-old cricketer who retired from international cricket after finishing as Australia's fourth most successful bowler with 310 wickets in 76 Test matches pretended to be a cricket novice in front of his unsuspecting young fans.

Posing as an old man in tattered clothes and sporting a long white beard the speedster took some expert tips from the children.

He then followed to hit a few lousy shots to win their confidence before showcasing his magic with the bat and ball that left the kids awestruck.

The video of the prank, which was uploaded by Star Sports, then showcases Brett Lee revealing his true identity to the stunned kids who later rush to take his autographs.

Fast-paced and known for his flashy smile, the retired cricketer has tried his hands at acting, singing, and writing and is now an official commentator who has often boasted of his long-lasting love for India.
