Virat Kohli took to his official social media handles late at night on Thursday and paid a stirring tribute to the legendary Indian captain MS Dhoni. Kohli made his international debut for India under the captaincy of Dhoni in 2008 and played many memorable knocks with the captain on the other end. Kohli took over India’s Test captaincy in 2014 after Dhoni’s retirement from the longest format, followed by the white-ball squads in 2016.
Meanwhile, shedding his thoughts on the legendary captain, Kohli said, “Being this man’s trusted deputy was the most enjoyable and exciting period in my career. Our partnerships would always be special to me forever. 7+18”. Both players were well known for sharing a closely knit friendship during their time playing for Team India, while it continues to be on display whenever they meet.
Kohli and Dhoni have shared a number of memorable partnerships during their time together in international colours. The picture he shared is from the 2016 T20 World Cup game against Australia in Mohali, where Kohli had famously scored an incredible unbeaten 82 off just 51 deliveries to take India to a six-wicket victory.
