Speaking about his exploits, Phil Salt former pacer Brett Lee expressed his admiration, saying that he seemed highly disciplined and that his game appeared simple.

Without a doubt, I would choose him. His style of play seems straightforward to me; it’s very structured in the sense that he seems to know exactly what he’s doing mentally, doesn’t try to overhit the ball, is an extremely clean ball striker, and doesn’t try to execute a lot of crazy little shots. Brett Lee stated at a post-match show on Star Sports, “The ball’s up, he hits you in the area where he’s meant to hit you, and he backs himself, which is, you know, the most important part of it.”
