Xtra Time Web Desk: Former Australia fast bowler Brett Lee has warned Indian Captain Rohit Sharma that he will be attacked by the Australian pacers in the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy starting from November 22.

As India's senior batters such as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli seemed to be out of touch throughout the series against Kiwis hence Brett Lee has suggested the batting stalwarts to stay away from cricket for a while and work on their technique. He warned how the Australian fast bowlers will attack Rohit Sharma with the new ball.

Lee on his Youtube Channel stated, "When you have a couple of bad runs back-to-back, that's when the pressure could set in. I guess the thing now is someone like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma just have to go back to the drawing board. Work on that technique, freshen up, get away from cricket as much as they can and then hit the ground running when they go to Australia, because I can promise you - these Australian fast bowlers will attack Rohit Sharma with that brand new ball." 

Talking about New Zealand series; he added, "They went into the series thinking that we'll just whitewash the Kiwis, thinking that's going to be an easy series. And that's no disrespect to the Kiwis. It's just that India are so powerful, so strong on home soil. The Kiwis caught India off-guard."

"This is a great learning curve for all out there. Probably not for Aussies because now they've got to understand that India will be much-better prepared. They are going to come in strong. They would have got a kick up the backside from their coach, Gautam Gambhir. This is atrocious, the way they played but they are still a team of champions. They have had a downfall over the last couple of weeks; it does happen in cricket.", he added.

Although Lee's statement sounds like adding fuel into fire but will Indian Team be able to answer with their performance, especially will Rohit Sharma be able to answer with bat?
