New Delhi, Nov 24: Former chief justice of India D Y Chandrachud Sunday revealed that his favourite game was cricket while Jasprit Bumrah and Virat Kohli were his favourite cricketers among the current players.
Speaking at NDTV India’s Samvidhan@75 Conclave, he said even though his schedule does not permit him, he tries his best to follow Indian cricket as much as he can.
“My favourite game is cricket. But I do not get the time to play. Also, I have become a bit old to play cricket. I don’t get to see the live broadcast, but I watch the five to seven-minute highlights every night to see how Virat Kohli has played, how Ravichandran Ashwin has bowled, or if Jasprit Bumrah has bowled well or not.
“In the present lot, I have two favourites — Jasprit Bumrah and Virat Kohli. Among previous cricketers, I am a fan of Rahul Dravid — always stable, always solid,” the former CJI said.
Chandrachud retired on November 10 after a stint of two years as CJI. He was succeeded by Sanjiv Khanna. (PTI)
