To the question, Vijay replied, "Ellyse Perry. I want to have dinner with her. She is so beautiful. And Shikhar Dhawan any day. He is a fun guy. Just that he will speak Hindi and I will be conversing in Tamil," said Vijay, popularly called Monk in the team India dressing room. Vijay also opened up on his admiration for Virender Sehwag and recalled some great moments he had shared with the destructive Indian opening batsman.

"My favourite batting partner is Virender Sehwag. When he is there, you will automatically score runs. He is my favourite opener along with Gautam Gambhir and Wasim Jaffer. They are all greats of the game. Obviously, I followed their footsteps. I was in the line. So it was a great opportunity for me to share the dressing room with Virender Sehwag and pick his brains," Vijay said. "He is a fantastic, fantastic person. I love him. Bless you, Viru pa."
