As the novel coronavirus outbreak has brought the world into a standstill, sportspersons have been interacting with fans through the social media since all sporting events across the globe have either been cancelled or suspended for the time being.

In an Instagram live session recently, Sunrisers Hyderabad captain David Warner asked his teammate Kane Williamson who he thinks is the best batsman in the world right now and while Williamson said it was difficult to pick one, he named India captain Virat Kohli and South Africa great AB de Villiers.

"It's very hard to pinpoint one. Someone like AB -- I know he only plays franchise cricket now, but in terms of gifted players, he is right up there. And a top guy as well. He's one of the special players of our time. But (there are) so many quality players," Kane Williamson pointed. "Kohli, in all formats, has a real hunger to dominate. He is so good to watch and play against, and to learn as well. He has set the bar so high."

David Warner, on the other hand, picked three. "I would have you, Smithy (Steve Smith) and Virat to bat for my life," he said.

David Warner also asked Kane Williamson about the loss in the 2019 World Cup final and then the Kiwi skipper said: "That was a very emotional time. But it was kind of hard to be emotional right at that point in time. You were still very much looking at the next task at that time despite the 'n' number of things outside of your control.”

He shared, "It can happen in any cricket game, but just that in this context, it was a World Cup game. After the game, it was quite difficult to make sense of it. I think the thing we could reflect and be proud of was the cricket we played.”
