Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh delivered a clever and humorous response when asked to pick between Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni in a game of 'play, bench, sell'. Known for his candid opinions, Yuvraj didn’t hold back during a podcast appearance, offering his stance while tactfully sidestepping controversy.
When asked to choose which player he'd "play," Yuvraj immediately picked Rohit Sharma, citing his brilliance in T20 cricket and leadership qualities. Yuvraj, a long-time admirer of Rohit's skills as a player and captain, confidently named him as his first choice: "In T20 cricket, I'd go for Rohit Sharma. He’s an outstanding captain and can change the game with his batting."
However, when it came to the difficult decision of "bench" and "sell" between Kohli and Dhoni, Yuvraj had a clever way out. He humorously chose to "bench" himself to avoid stirring controversy, acknowledging that any choice between the two would make headlines: "I’d bench myself. We all know who should be benched, but I'm sticking to Rohit."
Having shared a dressing room with Kohli, Rohit, and Dhoni, Yuvraj was at the heart of India's triumphs in the 2007 ICC World T20 and the 2011 ODI World Cup. His deep connections with these legends only added to the weight of his playful remarks.
