New Delhi: India skipper Virat Kohli is hailed as one of the most dominant batsmen of his generation courtesy his staggering run scoring prowess which has seen him flay the best of bowling attacks with utter disdain. However, the Indian skipper had had his own problems against spinners in recent years. The Indian skipper while doing an  Instagram live session with football skipper Sunil Chhetri  revealed that he was completely at sea playing Australian spinner wizard Shane Warne during the 2nd edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2009. Kohli was doing an Instagram live session with India football skipper Sunil Chhetri and during the chat the latter answered a few tough but interesting questions in a rapid-fire posed to him. Chhetri asked Kohli: "You need three runs of the last ball, you can choose the bowler, I am giving you two options-- Shane Warne or Waqar Younis". Kohli replied: "Firstly, Shane Warne hardly bowled during the death overs and secondly I would believe in my ability to score off the yorkers bowled by Waqar Younis. "Shane Warne made me look like a fool during IPL in 2009. I played him again in 2011 in Rajasthan, nothing significant happened there. He did not get me out, I did not score many runs against him. After the match he came up to me and said never say anything back to the bowler, but obviously I did not listen (laughs)," he added. In the rapid fire round, Kohli named former South Africa cricketer Jonty Rhodes as the best fielder at backward point. Chhetri also asked Kohli about the pne innings he would have liked to play from the past. Kohli responded: "Desert Storm, Tendulkar's semi-final innings of 140+ against Australia in Sharjah in 1998".
