Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni share great camaraderie both on and off the field. Kohli, who made his debut under Dhoni's leadership, took over the captaincy responsibility from him in December 2014 in Test cricket. Dhoni took a sudden retirement from the longest format of the game during Australia tour and Kohli was named captain mid-tour. The Delhi-born took Team India to various heights in Test cricket as he led them to first-ever Tests series win in Australia during 208/19 tour. In 2017, Dhoni stepped down from captaincy in limited-over cricket and Kohli was the instant choice for leading the team further. Under Kohli's leadership, India were the runner-ups in 2017 Champions Trophy and semifinalists in 2019 World Cup.  from IndiaTV Sports: Google News Feed https://ift.tt/31xHQNC via IFTTT
