Virat Kohli leaves himself out, picks 7 legends to build his ultimate ODI batter

During an interview with Star Sports prior to the second ODI between India and the West Indies, Virat Kohli was tasked with assembling his ultimate fifty-over batter using different attributes from seven iconic cricketers while intentionally excluding himself. For the straight drive, he selected Sachin Tendulkar, followed by Kumar Sangakkara for the cover drive and Rahul Dravid for the flick shot.

Rounding out his dream selection, Kohli chose Virender Sehwag for the cut shot, Matthew Hayden for the sweep, Chris Gayle for power-hitting maximums, and AB de Villiers for running between the wickets.
