She found it challenging to pick just one, laughing as she responded to the podcast host\u2019s persistent questioning. She was first asked to choose between Kohli and Dhoni, a pairing that often divides fans. Initially, she provided a diplomatic answer, stating that<em> \u201cboth are good.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>However, when the host insisted on a single name, she responded, <em>\u201cWill you make me fight?\u201d<\/em> before finally relenting.

Her initial response was a lighthearted laugh, followed by a playful admission.<\/p>\n<p>She said,<em> \u201cI will have to know everything about them,\u201d<\/em> However, after the brief pause, she made her final, unequivocal choice.

This decisive answer confirmed her preference for the former Test captain, whose influence and popularity have cemented his status as a legendary figure in modern cricket.
