1. M S Dhoni’s friendly reply:
During his press conference after World T20 2016 semi final to West Indies, Dhoni was questioned about his retirement plans by an Australian journalist. In a friendly but bold gesture, Dhoni called the reporter onto the podium.
He said, “Come here let’s have some fun, come here.” He questioned the journalist, “You want me to retire? Do you think I am unfit after seeing my running? Do you think I can survive till the 2019 World Cup?”

3. Virat Kohli making it unpleasant for a Pakistan journalist:
India lost their match against Pakistan in the Champion Trophy 2017 final. Jasprith Bumrah’s no ball was claimed to be one of the reasons for India’s defeat. As a witness to it, a journalist from Pakistan asked a terribly worded question to Virat Kohli, “You won the toss and got a wicket on the no ball, do you think any pleasant more in the match.” In his aggressive mode, Kohli shot back, “How can a no ball be pleasant for me?”
4. Smriti Mandana’s straight face reply:
In the ongoing Women’s World Cup, Smriti Mandhana was asked by journalist during the conference "Do you think India can win the tournament?" For which she replied, "What? You don't?"

A fantastic reply.....by Mithali Raj.
