Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni’s on-field equation is among the most discussed factors in Indian Cricket. Dhoni and Kohli discussing field placements is a very common sight. In fact, Dhoni not only advises bowlers but also moves the fielders around when Kohli is not present in the circle. Former Indian cricketer VVS Laxman is particularly impressed with this association of two pillars of team India and describes it as best thing happened in recent times.
“It is not only a brilliant moment of today’s game (in Pune on Wednesday) but it has been a brilliant moment from the day Virat Kohli became captain in the ODI format. It is so good to see the rapport between Kohli and Dhoni. He has got the advantage of being a wicket-keeper, who has got the best view of the angles as far as field placements are concerned,” Laxman said in the post-match show.
“Without having any ego, Kohli approaches Dhoni and that is credit to Kohli. Dhoni has abundance of knowledge and experience, above that he has got so much of respect, so Kohli depends a lot on Dhoni. This relationship will help India, going forward to 2019 World Cup. Dhoni is a mentor of the India team,” he further added.
