“I think the best thing for Virat Kohli is that he is got MS Dhoni as a keeper. You can see whenever he is in the deep, MS Dhoni helps him with the field, talks to the bowlers in crucial situations. Your best fielder should be at the deep during the death overs. That’s where MSD comes into play, telling the bowlers what to do,” Gavaskar said.

“Appreciate the chemistry between both. Both of them share a lot of respect. Their chemistry is going to help us at the World Cup,” Gavaskar said at India Today Conclave 2019.
