Must Give Virat Kohli Credit for Continuing to Learn from...
Former Australia cricketer Michael Hussey shared that India captain Virat Kohli should be given credit for still learning from the former India captain MS Dhoni. Dhoni gave up the responsibility in white-ball cricket in 2017 but has been an active part of the side as well where Virat Kohli often seen discussing strategies with him on the field.
"I think you got to give a lot of kudos to Virat Kohli, having someone like MS Dhoni still in the team who’s been, arguably, India’s most successful captain. Sometimes some people would find that threatening to still have that person in the team," Hussey said in an episode of chat show Sony Ten’s Pit Stop on Sony India’s Facebook page.
"But I think that’s where you need to tip your hat to Virat and so you know he’s obviously got the personality to say ‘no, no I would like this guy around. I can learn from this guy, and he’s going to help me get down the better skipper and obviously have a better team’," he further added.
Notably, former captain, MS Dhoni has not played a single game ever since India lost in the semi-final of the 2019 World Cup against New Zealand. Moreover, that has led to speculation about his retirement as well where veteran India spinner Harbhajan Singh shared Dhoni's days are over.
Harbhajan had told Rohit Sharma in an Instagram live session, "He will 100% play the IPL, but does he want to play for India anymore, that's the first thing we need to find out. Does he feel like it or not? As far as I know, he doesn't want to.”
Meanwhile, MS Dhoni had started practising for the 13th edition of Indian Premier League which eventually got postponed amid the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in the country and a call is yet to be taken on this league.
