Globally, two of the most respected cricket players are MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. Together, they have won multiple accolades for India and served as outstanding representatives of the beautiful game. Huge affection has also been bestowed upon the pair by fans, who have always supported one another—both on and off the pitch.
2008 saw Kohli make his debut for his country while captaining Dhoni. After Dhoni left the format later in 2014, the Delhi batsman assumed leadership of the Test team. In 2016, a few years later, the wicketkeeper-batter relinquished his position as India’s white-ball cricket captain, and Kohli assumed leadership.
When it came to the DRS calls, Kohli didn’t think twice to ask Dhoni for assistance, and the latter was usually right. They enjoyed wonderful chemistry off the pitch and were a part of multiple match-winning partnerships for the Men in Blue. Speaking lately about their connection, Dhoni referred to Kohli as one of the best batters in the game.

“Despite the age difference, I wouldn’t say I’m an older brother or anything; we’ve just been teammates who have played for India for a long time. We’ve been playing together since 2008/09. At a function, Dhoni stated, “He has been among the best in world cricket.”
Supporters eager for Dhoni to face Kohli in the 2025 Indian Premier League
Fascinatingly, Virat Kohli has frequently acknowledged that MS Dhoni helped him when he first joined the Indian cricket squad. The legendary batter claimed in an earlier interview that Dhoni was the only person to get in touch with him following his announcement that he would be giving up his Test captaincy. When the two players play together in the Indian Premier League (IPL), fans anxiously await their arrival. Due to their outstanding performances to the teams, Dhoni and Kohli have come to be associated with the Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, respectively.
