Two former cricketers, Adam Gilchrist and Michael Vaughan were asked a tricky question – if MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma were on the same IPL team, who would they play, sell, or bench? It was a tough hypothetical scenario but the former England skipper Michael Vaughan quickly made his decision without any hesitation during the podcast discussion.
The former English captain said, “I’m playing MS Dhoni. I don’t think anyone’s been better. No (Virat doesn’t find a place). MS is the captain. He’s playing. What was the other thing? Selling? I’m getting rid of Virat. I’m getting rid of him because he’s never won the IPL. Rohit is a six-time winner. MS how many? Five! So I’m playing MS, and I’m selling Virat. What was the other one? Yeah, so Rohit is my substitute for MS.”
“I can get a good load of cash for him [Virat]. He’ll go somewhere else for a huge amount of money. That’s good business,” Vaughan added.
Adam Gilchrist agreed with Michael Vaughan’s selections and reasoning but also admitted that it wouldn’t be easy to make such a decision.
“That’s well thought through (by Vaughan). You’re splitting hair, it’s tough on all, but that’s the job of a manager, isn’t it?” Gilchrist said.
