During the session, David Warner was asked as to which three batsmen he would pick to bat for his life

And, the swashbuckling left-handed opener had no hesitation in naming his Australian teammate Steven Smith, Indian captain Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson as his three batters.

“I would have you, Smithy (Steve Smith) and Virat to bat for my life,” he said.

Virat Kohli, Steven Smith, Kane Williamson, and England’s Joe Root are part of the coveted ‘Fab-Four’ of the modern era.

Having made their debut between 2008-2012, the quartet has enthralled the folklore with their prodigious run-making spree, temperament, resilience and the unrelenting desire to be the best in the world across all three formats of the game.

Warner then went on to ask Williamson about his emotions in the immediate aftermath of the 2019 World Cup final against England.

“That was a very emotional time. But it was kind of hard to be emotional right at that point in time. You were still very much looking at the next task at that time despite the ‘n’ number of things outside of your control,” Kane Williamson said.

Williamson added: “It can happen in any cricket game, but just that in this context, it was a World Cup game. After the game, it was quite difficult to make sense of it. I think the thing we could reflect and be proud of was the cricket we played,”

The 2019 World Cup final ended in heartbreak for the Kiwis after England were declarer as winners on the back of the now-defunct boundary-count rule after the actual game and the super-over ended in a tie.
