MS Dhoni Mentions Virat Kohli’s Name in CSK Dressing Room, Video Goes Viral

In the era of “cricket is more about rivalries,” the bond between MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli seems to be so special and unique. Cricket enthusiasts and professionals alike have discussed and applauded the relationship between the two former Indian captains.

The duo first played together in 2008, when Kohli made his international debut. At the time, Kohli was just a young, inexperienced player attempting to establish his footing in international cricket. On the other hand, Dhoni was the Indian team’s captain.

As time passed, the relationship between the two athletes grew closer. The balance between Kohli’s aggressiveness and energy and Dhoni’s cool and collected demeanor on the field was ideal. The two were a natural match for one another, and the Indian squad greatly benefited from their teamwork.

Even after Dhoni retired in 2017, he still plays an important role in Virat Kohli’s life. Outside the boundaries of the cricket pitch, they have a friendship that is based on mutual respect and appreciation. They frequently appear to be having fun and hanging out together. On only this, Virat Kohli, on many occasions, openly expressed his admiration for him both as a skipper and a friend.

However, this admiration and respect are one-sided, as Dhoni also frequently mentions Kohli. And a recent one might touch your heart.

The first ball to Virat was too wide to put a bat on and he left that so Dhoni said Virat doesn’t play first ball like this u need to bowl near his bat so that he could attempt (this I comprehend )
