Two former cricket players were asked if MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma played for the same side, and who they would play, sell, and bench. This was an "impossible" hypothetical situation set in the Indian Premier League. Australian wicket-keeper batter Adam Gilchrist and former England captain Michael Vaughan recently discussed this complex topic on a podcast. However, Michael Vaughan made his decision without hesitation.
"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, I'm selling Virat. What was the other one? Yeah, so Rohit is my substitute for MS," Vaughan said.
"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 Vaughan's picks and thought behind it but also acknowledged the difficulty of this choice
"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.
