Brett Lee has a special connection with India

Brett Lee has expressed his love for India on several occasions. He has toured the country throughout his playing career and also represented the Kings XI Punjab (now renamed Punjab Kings) and the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Lee has starred in an Indo-Australian film titled "UnIndian" and has also sung a song titled "You're the one for me" with Asha Bhosle, which was written by Lee himself. Released in 2006, the song was popular in Indian circles.
