Recently we saw the amalgamation of sports and entertainment when Binga Brett Lee met Doctor Strange Benedict Cumberbatch on the sidelines of Marvel Avengers: Infinity War tour in Singapore.
The two shot for a special show for television which will be aired on Star Sports Network as a part of Super Sunday IPL Match on Sunday, April 22 at 2:30 pm. Covering a wide spectrum of topics, the interview conducted by Brett Lee had Benedict Cumberbatch speaking about his favourite cricketers, life as a movie star, sharing screen space with Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo and more.
When quizzed on cricket, Cumberbatch said, “Graham Gooch was my hero when growing up. Because I was a wicket keeper, I had my eye on Jack Russell.” Brett Lee went on to ask about Benedict’s views on who would best fit the role of Doctor Strange. He replied, “Sachin Tendulkar would do quite well in fitting the role as Doctor Strange as he is quite extraordinary.”
