And now, the 33-year-old, who resigned as India’s Test captain earlier this year, has revealed that Dhoni was the one who reached out to him even during his darkest days.
In a press conference following India’s defeat to Pakistan in the Asia Cup Super 4 stage, Kohli revealed that Dhoni was the only person to contact him when he announced his Test captaincy resignation.
Dhoni and Kohli had a visibly comfortable relationship even after the latter took over as captain, and both spoke highly of the other.
When you have genuine respect for someone, it appears that way because there is a sense of security on both sides. He doesn’t need anything from me, and I don’t need anything from him. I was never insecure of him, and neither was he,u201d Kohli added.
