R Ashwin reveals who Virat Kohli deems as the best player at the death

R Ashwin said he thought Kohli would take the name of Dhoni but he said it is Rohit. Here's what Ashwin commented.  

"5-6 years back, Virat Kohli and I had a discussion while Rohit was batting. I don't remember which match it was. Seeing Rohit bat, I was thinking, 'Where do you even bowl to him?' If Rohit is set after 15-20 overs, you wouldn't know where to bowl to him. Virat asked me, "Do you know who is a captain's nightmare at the death?" I asked, 'Is it Dhoni?' Kohli was like, 'No, it is Rohit.' When I asked him why, he said you won't know where to bowl."

"If Rohit Sharma is batting at the end of the 16th over in a T20, where will you bowl? He has got all the shots in the book and once he played an extraordinary knock in Chinnaswamy stadium that Kohli can never forget, it seems. Rohit Sharma has got all the shots, and he makes it look so effortless and easy," Ashwin added.
