Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma? Virender Sehwag Picks Current India ODI, Test Captain

Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag was put in a spot when asked to pick between Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli . On the sidelines during the Delhi Premier League T20, Sehwag was asked the question to which he picked the current India ODI and Test captain. It may come as a surprise for many as one would have imagined Sehwag would have backed Kohli as they hail from the same region. Both Kohli and Rohit are arguably the best batters of the generation hence one can imagine it must have been difficult for Sehwag.
