Virat Kohli recollects memories with MS Dhoni

With just a couple of days to go before India’s first game of the continental supremacy battle, Kohli took to his social media handles to remember the legendary former Indian skipper MS Dhoni.

Sharing a picture of himself raising his back with the man himself in the backdrop, Kohli seemed to feel privileged and honored for being Dhoni’s ‘most trusted deputy’ for most parts of the previous decade.

He further added that while that phase was his most exciting period in his career, their on-field partnerships would always have a special place in his heart.

The posted picture is from the 2016 T20 World Cup in India, where Kohli was going through one of the most golden phases of his international career so far. While the exact reason for him remembering the legend around midnight cannot be ascertained, the fans of both these cricketers just could not complain, as they showered the duo with their love and respect.
