Singh's Humorous Take: Choosing Between Kohli, Rohit, and Dhoni

Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh provided a clever and humorous response when asked to choose between Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni in a game of "play, bench, sell." Known for his candidness, Yuvraj didn't shy away from sharing his opinions during a podcast appearance, while tactfully avoiding controversy.

When prompted to select a player to "play," Yuvraj immediately opted for Rohit Sharma, praising his excellence in T20 cricket and leadership abilities. As a long-time admirer of Rohit’s talents as a player and captain, Yuvraj confidently stated, "In T20 cricket, I'd go for Rohit Sharma. He’s an outstanding captain and can change the game with his batting."

However, faced with the challenging choice between "bench" and "sell" regarding Kohli and Dhoni, Yuvraj cleverly sidestepped the issue. He humorously chose to "bench" himself, acknowledging that any decision made between the two would generate headlines: "I’d bench myself. We all know who should be benched, but I'm sticking to Rohit."

Having played alongside Kohli, Rohit, and Dhoni during India's memorable victories in the 2007 ICC World T20 and the 2011 ODI World Cup, Yuvraj's playful comments carry added significance due to his deep connections with these cricket legends.
