Neil Wagner, who rated Brett Lee 10 out of 10 for his trademark celebration, also revealed that the former Australian bowler was one of his idols while growing up.

When asked about Lee, Wagner replied:

Neil Wagner accounted for two wickets in the first innings of the World Test Championship final against India. The left arm seamer picked up the crucial scalps of Shubman Gill and Ajinkya Rahane, both of whom looked set for a big score.

“I got so much stick from some of my teammates” - Neil Wagner on his animated celebrations

In an interview with Spark Sport last month, Neil Wagner divulged that there are two camps in the New Zealand team - one who like his passionate celebrations and the other who term it as ‘horrible’.

Wagner added that he doesn’t enjoy looking at his own celebrations and said:

Neil Wagner will have a key role to play as the WTC final enters its reserve day with India leading by 32 runs with eight wickets in hand. Virat Kohli (8*) and Cheteshwar Pujara (12*) are at the crease for India.
