Former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee is often hailed as a modern-day great by many cricket experts and fans alike.
While he has enthralled viewers with his fiery bowling performances in international cricket, his iconic chainsaw celebration also remains one of the key highlights of his illustrious career.
The cricketer-turned-commentator recently revealed his inspiration behind the aforementioned celebration.
The 44-year-old took to his social media accounts on Australia's Father's day to dedicate a special message to his dad, Bob Lee. The fast bowling sensation also credited him for being the inspiration for his widely popular chainsaw celebration.
The ex-cricket star shared a video alongside his father in which the senior Lee was seen operating an actual chainsaw.

"Happy Fathers Dad to all the Dad’s out there. Special shout out to the great Bob Lee! Love ya mate!"
Brett Lee's fans showered immense love for the Father's day post and it has received appreciation from all corners.
Netizens were overjoyed to see the amazing camaraderie between the father and son duo. At the time of writing this report, the Instagram post has received over 2 lakh views.
