MUMBAI, Jan 12: A lilting romantic duet written and sung by blond Australian cricket star Brett Lee has climbed to number three on the Indian charts, the album’s composer said.

Lee wrote the lyrics of “You’re The One For Me” -- which he performs with legendary Bollywood singer Asha Bhosle -- in 30 minutes after a cricket practice session with his team during the Champions Trophy tournament in India in November.

The song, partly in Hindi, is about a Westerner trying to woo an Indian beauty. The song’s video has Lee playing guitar and singing to an Indian girl working in an office.

The song climbed to number three this week on the music charts of popular FM station Radio City, which broadcasts in several Indian cities.—Reuters
