India captain Virat Kohli would pick South African skipper Faf du Plessis in his side if he ever got a chance to pick someone from the other participating teams in the World Cup.

All the 10 captains were given a hypothetical situation wherein they could pick any player from the other side and there were some interesting answers with answers ranging from Jasprit Bumrah to Rashid Khan.

"It is very difficult to choose someone. We feel we are such a strong side. But if I have to choose one from the current lot...since AB (de Villiers) is retired now, I would choose Faf (du Plessis)," said Kohli at the official captains' media conference.

Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza picked Kohli to be a part of his side.

Pointing towards Kohli, Mortaza said: "I would choose that guy."
England's Eoin Morgan said: "I won't change anything about my team. Ponting is part of Australia's coaching side, so I would take Ricky Ponting."
