The video consists of the likes of Shubman Gill, Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, Tim Southee and Trent Boult, to name a few.

In the video, young Shubman Gill, who has been a revelation for India, also spoke about his favourite Test cricket venue in the world.

The youngster made his Test debut during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in December 2020, and he played a crucial role as India staged a turnaround to defeat Australia 2-1.

"The Test matches I have played, like all the seven Test matches, if I have to go through that, it has to be my debut in MCG. It has to be my favourite venue till now.

Bumrah, who appeared in the short video, revealed that his favourite stadium is in Johannesburg.

"Johannesburg. I just played one game over there, and I would like to play more games over there," revealed the pacer.

Meanwhile, New Zealand pace duo Trent Boult and Tim Southee also spoke about their favourite Test cricket stadiums.

"Lord's. Just the history behind it and just turning up in Lord's and somewhere that's a very special place to play. Played there a few times and its somewhere where we always enjoy," said Southee.

"Mine is a little weird. Adelaide Oval. I really enjoyed playing there, the first pink-ball Test took place there. It was an amazing occasion. There were probably 50,000 people for every game for three days. Good atmosphere, good hype and a lot of history," quipped Boult.
