Virender Sehwag picks his choice

Virender Sehwag made his preferences clear during a “This or That” challenge when he chose between Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, and Rohit Sharma. The “This or That” challenge has become a popular social media trend, where celebrities are quickly asked to choose between two names in a rapid-fire format.

Virender Sehwag gives his choices

During the fun segment at the Delhi Premier League T20 tournament, where Sehwag was asked to make quick choices between some of the most prominent figures in cricket history. Among the names presented were three of India’s biggest cricket stars: Kohli, Dhoni, and Rohit. In this rapid-fire round, he ultimately selected Rohit as his top choice, highlighting the Mumbai Indians captain as his preferred player.

The challenge began with Sehwag choosing between Dhoni and Ben Stokes. He selected Dhoni, affirming his preference for the former India captain. However, Dhoni was later pitted against South Africa‘s legendary AB de Villiers, and Dhoni was edged out by De Villiers.
When the next choice was between De Villiers and Kohli, Sehwag favored Kohli. Finally, in the matchup between Kohli and Rohit, Sehwag went with Rohit, the current captain of the Indian ODI and Test teams, as his top pick.

Sehwag further praises the Indian star for his incredible leadership 

Rohit’s prominence in cricket has notably increased over the past year. His leadership during the ODI World Cup 2023, where he guided the Indian team to the final, marked a significant achievement, despite the team’s heartbreaking loss to Australia in the summit clash.

However, Rohit redeemed himself with a standout performance in the T20 World Cup in 2024. He played a crucial role in India’s victory at the tournament. During the final against South Africa, India were on the brink of defeat, but a remarkable resurgence from the pace bowling unit revitalized the team and turned the match around and ended India’s Trophy drought of ten years.
