Virat Kohli, during an interaction, had revealed that MS Dhoni was the only one who contacted him during the tough times.
Former India captain MS Dhoni has opened up on his equation with star batter Virat Kohli. While their on-the-field camaraderie is a secret to none, Dhoni isn't great in staying touch with people off the field. While his current and former teammates have complained about not being able to contact Dhoni when he is not playing cricket. However, with Kohli, Dhoni seems to share a special bond. For the unversed, Dhoni texted Kohli after the latter decided to step down as captain of the Indian test team in January 2022, just after the tour of South Africa.
Kohli, during an interaction, had revealed that Dhoni was the only one who contacted him during the tough times.
"Let me tell you one thing: when I left Test captaincy, I got a message from only one person, with whom I had played previously; that was MS Dhoni. Many people have my number. On TV, people give lots of suggestions; people have a lot to say. But none of the people who had my number sent me a message," said Kohli.
Now, Dhoni has opened up on his special gesture for Kohli, admitting that he is "not great" in keeping touch with people. In a viral video, a fan asked Dhoni about his equation with Kohli during an event.
"It's deja vu. I was asked a similar question recently; you will see the answer during the IPL. I'm not great when it comes to being in touch with people but yeah, certain times when someone needs you, you just drop in a message," Dhoni said in the video.
