Xtra Time Web Desk: One of India's greatest cricketers, Yuvraj Singh, is known for his candid opinions, especially when it comes to discussions about the sport. During a recent podcast conversation, he faced a fun challenge: to choose between Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni in a 'play, bench, and sell' game. Yuvraj confidently picked Rohit for the 'play' option while delivering a clever response for the others.

Not only is Yuvraj a close friend of Rohit, but he is also one of his most vocal supporters. He has frequently praised Rohit’s skills as a player, captain, and person. In discussing his choice for T20 cricket, Yuvraj stated, "As a player, I would go for Rohit Sharma if it's T20 cricket. He is an outstanding captain and someone who can change the game with his batting for sure, he will be my first choice."

For the 'bench' and 'sell' portions, Yuvraj humorously opted to take himself out of the equation. He mentioned that picking either Dhoni or Kohli would create a media frenzy. "I would bench myself as naming one between Virat and Dhoni would be in the headlines. I don't want that to happen. We're all smart enough, we know who needs to go on the bench but I'm going to stick to Rohit Sharma's name," Yuvraj asserted.

Having shared the dressing room with all three players, Yuvraj played a pivotal role alongside Kohli and Dhoni during India’s 2011 ODI World Cup triumph, as well as winning the 2007 ICC World T20 with Rohit and Dhoni.
