These qualities, Dhoni explained, make Kohli a joy to be around and a constant source of amusement for his teammates.

“I have always said that there is a lot of time for me to decide, but if you are asking about coming back in a yellow jersey I we will always be in a yellow jersey, whether I am playing or not, is a different matter. Me and CSK, we are together. You know even for the next 15-20 year,” he further said.
