In the video, Kohli takes part in a simple challenge. He sits on a chair and waits while different player names are called out. The rule is simple: if he thinks the player is a bigger match-winner than Chris Gayle, he should stand up.
Several big names were mentioned:
| Player Names Called |
|---|
| David Warner |
| Glenn Maxwell |
| Faf du Plessis |
| Kieron Pollard |
| Suryakumar Yadav |
| Yuvraj Singh |
