Sunrisers Hyderabad teammates David Warner and Kane Williamson are the latest cricketing pair to interact on Instagram live. Several cricketers have already joined the trend in times of lockdown.

In the interaction, Warner and Kane picked the best batsman in the world currently. The New Zealand skipper named two batsmen, India captain Virat Kohli and South Africa's 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," 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."

Warner also named the batters he feels are in the top batsmen list. He picked three. "I would have you, Smithy (Steve Smith) and Virat to bat for my life," he said.

Williamson was asked by his IPL teammate to tell fans about the emotions after the close loss in World Cup 2019 final. "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 said.

"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.

"We saw throughout the World Cup how much the surfaces varied and what the good score was. 230-240 was quite competitive and we managed to get a competitive total in the final at Lord's. To come out and take wickets on the surface was quite good as well.

"After the game, I just didn't feel I had the right to complain too much just because we were able to put out a strong performance. It was decided by the things which were outside your control."
