“The mutual respect and warmth I’ve received from you will always stay in mine. The world has seen achievements, I’ve seen the person. Thanks for everything skip. I tip my hat to you ??? @msdhoni” Virat further wrote.

Kohli has won all of his major ICC Trophies under Dhoni’s leadership and time and again praised his presence and cool mindset in crucial situations. Even when Kohli was termed captain, for almost every referral he looked towards Dhoni’s opinion.
