Team India’s star batsman Virat Kohli said that Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni) was the only person who talked to him when he was going through a bad phase on the cricket field.
Kohli achieved his old rhythm by scoring 3 centuries in 4 ODIs last month. Earlier, Virat ended the 3-year drought of centuries in international cricket by scoring a century in the Asia Cup T20 tournament played in September 2022.
There is a strong bond between Virat Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni. These things of Kohli are the biggest example of this.
Virat Kohli told Anushka Sharma the biggest strength
Talking to ‘RCB Podcast’, Kohli said, “Anushka was my biggest strength at that time because she was living with me and she has seen me very closely how I was feeling at that time.”
During this, apart from my childhood coach and family, MS Dhoni was the only person who talked to me. Kohli shared the dressing room with Dhoni for 11 years between 2008 and 2019. He described the charismatic cricketer from Ranchi as his all-time ‘captain’.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni said these things to Virat Kohli
Former Team India captain Virat Kohli said, “He himself contacted me because it is very difficult to contact Dhoni.
If I call him on any given day, there is a 99 percent chance that he doesn’t pick up because he is away from the phone. In such a situation, it was good to be contacted from his side and that too twice. He explained to me, “When you are expected to be strong and you are seen as a strong person, people forget to ask, how are you?”
Virat was deeply affected by Dhoni’s words
Kohli said, “Dhoni’s words had a deep impact on me because I have always been seen as someone who is very confident, very strong mentally, who can handle any situation and find a way.” Can take out and show us the way.
Sometimes, what you realize is that at some point in life, as a human being, you need to take a few steps back and understand what your own well-being is.”
Even when Kohli suddenly left the captaincy of the Test team after the tour of South Africa in January 2022, he had said that only Dhoni had sent him the message.
