The Indian captain Virat Kohli has picked MS Dhoni, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja in the kabaddi team of cricketers. MS Dhoni, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja are quick on their feet and they can make good Kabaddi players. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli attended the opening match of the Mumbai leg of Pro Kabaddi 2019 on Saturday in Worli.
Furthermore, Kohli named Umesh Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and KL Rahul as Kabaddi players he would like to pick in his team. Thus, Kohli picked his six players for the Kabaddi team from the India national cricket team. Kohli stated it requires strength and athleticism to be Kabaddi players and these six players would make good players.
“It requires a lot of strength and athleticism. So I would say, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja and Umesh Yadav. Umesh is really strong. Rishabh Pant as well. I would say Bumrah because he can really work on a toe-touch. One more… I am not even going to include myself because these guys are stronger and more athletic. The last one would be KL Rahul. That’s my seven,” Virat Kohli told Star Sports.
On the other hand, Virat Kohli picked Rahul Chaudhari as his favourite Kabaddi player. In fact, Kohli added that the bonhomie between Rahul Chaudhari and Ajay Thakur is similar to the relationship he shares with MS Dhoni in the Indian team.
“Rahul Chaudhari and Ajay Thakur. They have great camaraderie. So I think those two would be a direct copy of me and Mahi [Dhoni],” Kohli added.
“I have always been impressed with Rahul Chaudhari the most. I think he’s got the personality and the game and the belief to be a top player. He has shown consistency over the years. Rahul is my favourite.”
