Ahead of the 3rd ODI between India and Australia on March 22, maverick Indian batter Virat Kohli spent some time on a live YouTube chat session with close friend and former Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper, AB de Villiers. Kohli took part in the ‘360 Show’ on AB de Villiers' YouTube Channel and revealed some interesting stories from his playing career. During the live session, there was a segment called the 'quick singles' round where both ABD and Kohli had to name the fastest runner between wickets they had played with. Interestingly, they were not allowed to pick each other.
Kohli picked MS Dhoni as the fastest runner between the sticks while ABD decided to go with countryman Faf du Plessis.
"Ofcourse, its not even a question, I have been asked this question before, AB (De Villiers) has by far been the fastest I have run with between wickets, the only other guy I had so much coordination and understanding with was MS (Dhoni). Now I don’t know about the speeds between the wickets, but with him and MS I would not even have to call," said the 34-year-old.
When asked about who is the worst runner between the wickets, Kohli jokingly named his India teammate Cheteshwar Pujara.
Kohli was also asked about the best atmosphere he has experienced in his career so far and the maverick Indian batter came up with three different instances when he was amazed by the atmosphere on the ground.
"Best atmosphere I have experienced, the IPL final in 2016 was a very special day, it was very very intense, but above that is the World Cup final in 2011 in Mumbai, it was an unbelievable atmosphere. I have never experienced anything like that till 23rd October against Pakistan at the MCG. That night was something else, it was more than a sporting experience," the former India captain added.
Kohli probably played the best T20I knock of all time against Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The maverick batter scored an unbeaten 82 runs off 53 balls with the help of six four and four sixes. It was because of Kohli's individual brilliance that India were able to pull off a miraculous four-wicket win against their arch-rivals.
