On being asked to name three batters, Chopra mentioned the names of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Sachin Tendulkar. He went with Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Kapil Dev when it came to the bowlers.

The 27-year-old also had to name three cricket stadiums. He responded by naming Narendra Modi Stadium (Ahmedabad), Arun Jaitley Stadium (Delhi) and M. Chinnaswamy Stadium (Bengaluru).
