The love for India is surely not stopping and this time it was former Australia pacer Brett Lee’s turn to speak about it after he had received a personalised letter from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on India’s 75th Republic Day. The letter was of appreciation for the bowler, in which PM Modi thanked the former pacer for his love and affection towards India and its culture.

Taking to his Twitter, Lee tagged the official Twitter handles of the Prime Ministers Office and the High Commission of India in Canberra and wrote, “Such an honour to receive this letter. Thank you @narendramodi. It’s no secret how much I love India & its people & feel grateful that I’ve been able to spend so many years enjoying this beautiful country I’m a few days late, but Happy Republic Day India.”
Not just him but PM Modi had sent personalised notes to various international cricketers, congratulating them on behalf of the nation. Chris Gayle, Jonty Rhodes, Kevin Pietersen and Australian legend Matthew Hayden had thanked PM Modi for his gesture.
