XtraTime Web Desk: After taking the mantle of the Indian cricket team from former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, current skipper Virat Kohli always said that he will always look at Dhoni as his captain. Not only that he also has gone a step forward and revealed that the only skipper he picked up aspects of true leadership is none other than MS Dhoni.
“Not really anyone before MS. I was always someone who kept talking to him about the game so even when I was really young, before I was made vice-captain, I would give him my suggestions.
“I love thinking about the game and that’s why I enjoy captaincy so much and I enjoy chasing totals so much – I love using my brain to figure out what needs to be done during the game. I’ve learned the most from MS, standing so close to him at slip so many times and just observing him at close quarters,” he told Wisden.
After announcing the decision of stepping-down from the captain’s role in the limited overs format, Dhoni had said that he was always trying helping Kohli while standing behind the stumps. While the mutual admiration is very much visible, their chemistry also makes it a delight for youngsters coming into the Indian team.
