Jaffer managed to evade the tough question as it is really difficult to choose between 'God of Cricket' Sachin Tendulkar and 'modern-day great' Virat Kohli.
Jaffer, who was the pillar of the Mumbai Ranji team for over a decade in first-class cricket now plays for Vidarbha.
Featuring for India, Jaffer played 31 Tests, accumulating 1944 runs, averaging 34.10 and also hit five centuries and 11 half-centuries.
In February this year, Jaffar became the first batsman to scale the momentous 12,000 runs in Ranji Trophy. The experienced batsman made his debut in the domestic circuit in the 1996-97 season.
