S Jaishankar Favourite Cricketer: S Jaishankar, India's Minister of External Affairs, was recently asked to pick his favourite Indian cricketer among three legends. The choices that he was offered was Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar. While he did not directly mention that there was one favourite among the three players, he did mention that he was biased in favour of one particular cricketer and not without a reason.

The ex-India bureaucrat was asked the question by Sushant Sinha on the latter's YouTube channel. While he initially gave a hesitant response saying that he loves all thre three options that were given to him, he explained the reason behind his biasness towards a particular individual. When he reasoned 'fitness' and 'attitude', there was probably only one among the three that he could have picked which he did, choosing Kohli over Tendulkar and Gavaskar.

"I love all three, but there is bias on my part only due to fitness. And that is why I choose Virat Kohli. All three are different, but my bias is in Kohli's direction because I love his fitness and attitude," Jaishankar said.

The video of Jaishankar's response has gone viral on social media.

Virat Kohli Part Of India's T20 World Cup 2024 Squad

As far as Kohli is concerned, the right-handed batter ended up as the leading run-scorer of IPL 2024 and won the Orange Cap. However, he failed to inspire Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to their maiden title as their wait continued.

RCB won six matches in a row to storm into the Playoffs from the verge of elimination but lost the Eliminator to Rajasthan Royals (RR). Kohli has opted for a break and did not travel with the first batch of India players to New York where India begin their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign.

He is yet to join his India teammates and is likely to miss India's only warm-up game before the T20 World Cup 2024 against Bangladesh on June 1 at 8 pm (Indian Standard Time).
