A video from a BBL 2023-24 match between the Melbourne Renegades and Hobart Hurricanes attracted the eyeballs of cricket fans. In this video, the India-born Australia cricketer Nikhil Chaudhary was seen interacting with the former legendary Aussie pacer Brett in Hindi when Brett Lee asked him, “Aap kaise ho,” to which Nikhil Replied, “Main theek hun, thank you.”

“Would you have a selfie with me,” asked ecstatic Nikhil Chaudhary to which Lee replied, “Sure, Mate.”
