Kohli and Dhoni shares a very good bond as we often witnessed their chemistry on and of the feild. Dhoni revealed that they often talk about what is going on.
We have been colleagues who played for India for a very long time. He (Kohli) has been amongst the best when it comes to world cricket. And the fact that I could bat a lot with him during the middle overs was a lot of fun because we used to take a lot of twos and threes in the game, so it has always been fun. It is not like we meet very often, but whenever we get a chance, we make sure that we go on the side and chat for some time, we will talk about what is going on, so that is our relationship," said Dhoni in an event in Hyderabad.
Last time Kohli and Dhoni was seen together in the feild was in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 where both featured against each other for their respective franchises.
