"Let's see. Who gets what. 6 months is a long time away," came the apt reply from Chopra. 

The social media user's comment came on this post by Aakash Chopra: "So...different organisations have put different players on posters and promos for the T20 World Cup. Rohit-Kohli-Hardik...all three featured in one place or the other. All fan-armies happy or fighting. Enough fodder. Enough engagement. Mission Accomplished."
