MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli might not be playing together anymore but their brotherhood is still intact. It shows in the way Kohli celebrates his former skipper’s on-field achievements. 

Last year, when the Ranchi-born had guided the Chennai-based outfit to a memorable win over Delhi Capitals in Qualifier 1, Kohli had lavished huge praise on the former India skipper. 

Looking at his post, one could tell just how much he loved and admired the legendary cricketer.

The thing about Kohli’s posts about Dhoni is that he never uses too many words but still, one can sense his emotions. The former RCB captain once again made everyone emotional as he paid tribute to the four-time IPL champions after he relinquished CSK captaincy.

Lavishing praise on the 40-year-old, he said that fans would never forget his “legendary captaincy tenure” in the yellow jersey. Kohli used a picture of himself embracing Dhoni with a warm hug, which increased the appeal of his post even further.

“Legendary captaincy tenure in yellow skip. A chapter fans will never forget. Respect always. @mahi7781,” Kohli wrote on Instagram. 

Soon, fans flocked the post with their heart-warming comments. People loved Kohli’s affection for arguably the greatest Indian skipper of all time and the second-most successful captain in IPL history.

Not just fans, Kohli’s post also turned Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh emotional and he commented on his post saying: “Ek mera dil hai, ek meri jaan hai (One is my heart, one is my life)”. 

Dhoni’s decision to step down from CSK captaincy with only a couple of days left in their opening encounter of IPL 2022 took everyone by surprise.

The CSK legend knew he was running on his last legs and given his age, he might not be able to carry on for long. Hence, he wanted to ensure a smooth transition at the franchise and decided to hand over the reins to his successor so that he could guide him in the early phase of his IPL captaincy.

Come Saturday, the Saurashtra all-rounder will become only the third player to lead CSK, after Dhoni and Suresh Raina. 

Leading a team like CSK will be a huge challenge but Ravindra Jadeja is lucky that he will have Dhoni as his guiding light.
