Former Australia pace bowler Brett Lee chose Steve Smith above India captain Virat Kohli and said that he can be as good as the legend Don Bradman was. While calling both Smith and Kohli 'genuine batsmen', Lee shared that it was hard to point out the flaws in their batting and ways to dismiss them as well.

"Look, it is so hard to pick, there are so many qualities in both that I enjoy, from the bowling of point I am trying to look are there any flaws in both batsmen, both of these batsmen are genuine," he said in a recent Instagram live session with former Zimbabwe pacer Pommie Mbangwa. "Kohli is technically sound, he hits through the V, he used to knick off earlier in his career, but it is hard to do that now, he is a great leader of his side, I think he would love to win the IPL."

While Virat Kohli is known for his exceptional technical, Steve Smith is known for his unorthodox style of playing. Smith faced a year of ban from international cricket because of his involvement in the ball-tampering scandal and Lee said that his comeback from that was not an easy job. However, he came back strongly and helped Australia win the Ashes in England last year, scoring 774 runs from four matches. That is the reason why Lee rated him above Kohli

"Steve Smith has been through a lot in the last couple of years, he has seen a rise with the way he played in the last 12 months, he is so fidgety, sometimes you are like just relax mate," Lee said. "At the moment I would choose Smith over Kohli because of what he has been through and what he has to overcome, they are two great players, I think Smith can be as good as Don Bradman, there have been talks of him becoming just like Bradman looking at the numbers."

While Steve Smith placed at the top of the ICC Test rankings with 911 points, Kohli is behind him with 886 points. On the other hand, Kohli leads the ODI charts whereas Smith is in the 21st position.
