Only person who genuinely reached out to me during difficult times is Dhoni: Kohli

TIL Desk Sports/ When Virat Kohli was going through difficult times over a run drought last year, his former teammate and skipper M.S. Dhoni was the only person to reach out to him and express support — not once but twice.

Dhoni’s gesture and concern towards Kohli’s well-being is an indicator of the bond the two players shared during their time as members of the national cricket team. When Virat Kohli was going through difficult times over a run drought last year, his former teammate and skipper M.S. Dhoni was the only person to reach out to him and express support — not once but twice.

Dhoni’s gesture and concern towards Kohli’s well-being is an indicator of the bond the two players shared during their time as members of the national cricket team. “I have experienced a different kind of phase in my career currently. It’s been a while since I felt (this) free in the sense how I felt all these years of playing at any level of cricket,” Kohli was quoted as saying by his IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Kohli has played 106 Tests, 271 ODIs and 115 T20Is for India in a career spanning 15 years scoring over 25000 international runs.
