Both Kohli and Dhoni share a very special bond of friendship, and on many occasions, the star batsman of Royal Challengers Bangalore has expressed his fondness for Dhoni.
The Chennai Super Kings are having a brilliant performance in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League 2023, as they have won six out of the 11 matches they have played till now. They are in the second spot on the points table. CSK defeated their rivals, the Mumbai Indians, by six wickets in a chase of 140 runs at the Chepauk stadium. This was a special victory for the Chennai Super Kings, as it was their first win against the Mumbai Indians at Chepauk since 2011. After the match ended, a video went viral on social media platforms showing Dhoni talking with his teammates in the dressing room. Dhoni mentioned Kohli’s name to motivate the players. He said, “Virat doesn’t play the first ball like this. It is always here.”
Here is the video.
Last year, during the Asia Cup, Kohli revealed that Mahendra Singh Dhoni was the only person who texted him when he stepped down as the test captain in January 2022.
