MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli share a great mutual respect.

Kohli had a poor run in the young days of his career. However, it was MS Dhoni who had put his weight behind the talisman batsman. Thus, Kohli was able to deliver the goods after getting his chances.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli has also backed MS Dhoni to the hilt. Dhoni is not in the best of forms in the recent past, however, the Indian captain has stood behind the veteran wicketkeeper-batsman.

Both of the linchpin players share a great mutual respect for each other. Kohli always turns his head towards MS Dhoni whenever he needs any help on the field. Dhoni also sets up the field and Kohli usually fields in the outfield in the slog overs.

MS Dhoni said in the video uploaded by BCCI, “Hi Virat, I wish you a very, very happy birthday. I know you’re a big PUBG fan. I found this photo of your’s on your phone. Why don’t you come and teach Manish Pandey how to play a first-person shooting game”.

Meanwhile, MS Dhoni is dropped from the T20I squad and will return to action in the ODI series against Australia. On the other hand, Kohli is rested from the ongoing T20I series against the Windies.
