Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni’s camaraderie is something inspirational for the younger generation. Kohli has often spoken about how much Dhoni helped him during his career and has repeatedly shared how much respect he has for the two-time World Cup-winning captain.
Dhoni retired from international cricket in 2020 and Kohli stepped down as India's captain in 2022, but they still face off in the IPL, where Virat Kohli plays for RCB and MS Dhoni leads CSK.
Earlier this year, Kohli had revealed that Dhoni was the only person to text him when he decided to step down as the Test captain. He then went on to reveal that Dhoni's message uplifted him.
"The only person who has genuinely reached out to me has been MS Dhoni. And for me that is such a blessing to know that I could have such a strong bond and such a strong relationship with someone who is such a senior to me where things are, it is a friendship which is based on a lot of mutual respect," Kohli had said on RCB Podcast.
"It is one of the things he mentioned in the same message reaching out to me, that when you are expected to be strong and looked at as strong individual, people forget to ask how are you doing? So, it hit home to me, it was like this is it," he added.
Recently, on Monday, Kohli shared an Instagram story where he posted a photo of MS Dhoni on a water bottle with the caption reading: "He's everywhere. Even on the water bottle."
