There was a time when Brett Lee didn’t just bowl fast but bowled over an entire nation with his voice. Yes, the same fiery Australian pacer who terrified batters with thunderbolts once made millions of Indian fans swoon by singing a love song.
Lee, who turned 49 on November 8, 2025, has always been a popular face in India. He used his popularity back in 2006 when the pacer decided to showcase his singing talent to the world.
When Brett Lee did a song with the legend Asha Bhosle
Australian speedster Brett Lee sang an iconic track, “You’re the One for Me”, with the legendary Indian singer Asha Bhosle. Released during the ICC Champions Trophy 2006 in India, the song was a delightful surprise.
Lee, dressed in a traditional green kurta, was singing in Hindi and English, trying to win the heart of an Indian girl.
The track quickly became a chartbuster and left everyone amazed by Lee’s charm off the cricket field.
What’s even more impressive is that Brett Lee reportedly wrote the song in just 30 minutes. The melody told a story about a westerner falling for an Indian woman, and with Asha Bhosle’s magical voice blending perfectly with Lee’s earnest singing, it turned into an instant hit.
But this wasn’t just a one-time gimmick. Lee has always been passionate about music. He was a part of an Australian rock band called 'Six & Out,' where he used to play bass guitar and sing.
His love for music even inspired him to establish 'Mewsic,' a foundation in India that heals, educates, and empowers underprivileged children through music.
Brett Lee also acted in an Indian film
After impressing fans with his singing talent in ‘You’re the One for Me’, Brett Lee took a step further into Indian entertainment with the 2016 romantic comedy "UnIndian."
In the movie, he played Will, an Australian teacher who falls for an Indian single mother played by Tannishtha Chatterjee.
While the film didn’t become a major box-office hit, fans praised Brett Lee’s effortless acting and his chemistry with Tannishtha.
