During the rapid-fire round of the interview, the cricketers have chosen MS Dhoni as the 'most selfless player' in the T20 league history. The decision was unanimous and there was no disagreement regarding the same. 

The former cricketers also picked KL Rahul as the most stylish cricketer. The former IPL players had sat together for an interview of rapid-fire questions on Jio Cinema.
