Kohli
took
over
the
Indian
captaincy
from
Dhoni,
but
the
relationship
between
the
two
has
always
been
very
amicable.
And
the
chemistry
between
them
has
ticked
both
on
and
off
the
field.
The
former
India
captain
Kohli
recently
gave
an
account
of
how
MS
Dhoni
was
such
a
pivotal
character
in
his
formative
days
and
during
the
tough
period
in
the
Indian
dressing
room.
While
speaking
on
the
RCB
Podcast
Season
2,
Kohli
shared
some
insights
into
the
working
points
of
his
kinship
with
Dhoni.
“I
have
experienced
a
different
kind
of
phase
in
my
career
currently.
It’s
been
a
while
since
I
felt
(this)
free
in
the
sense
how
I
felt
all
these
years
of
playing
at
any
level
of
cricket,”
said
Kohli.
“What
is
interesting
is
that
throughout
this
phase
apart
from
Anushka,
who
has
been
the
biggest
source
of
strength
for
me
because
she
has
been
with
me
throughout
this
whole
time
and
she
has
seen
me
very
closely
as
how
have
I
felt,
things
that
I
have
gone
through,
the
kind
of
things
that
have
happened…the
only
person
who,
apart
from
my
childhood
coach
and
family…genuinely
reached
out
to
me
has
been
MS
Dhoni,”
he
added.
Kohli
shared
the
dressing
room
with
Dhoni
for
11
years
during
their
stint
with
Team
India
between
2008
and
2019.
During
that
time,
the
pair
won
the
World
Cup
in
2011
and
also
lifted
the
Champions
Trophy
in
2013.
“He
reached
out
to
me
and
you
can
rarely
get
in
touch
with
him.
If
I
call
him
on
any
random
day,
99
percent
he
will
not
pick
up
(the
phone),
because
he
just
does
not
look
at
the
phone.
So,
for
him
to
reach
out
to
me…twice
it
has
happened
now
and
one
of
the
things
that
he’d
mentioned
in
the
message
while
reaching
out
to
me
was
that:
‘when
you
are
expected
to
be
strong
and
looked
at
as
a
strong
individual
people
forget
to
ask
how
are
you
doing?’
Virat
Kohli’s
association
with
the
Royal
Challengers
Bangalore
started
in
2008
and
became
the
team’s
captain
in
2011
until
he
stepped
away
from
the
role
in
2021.
He
further
added,
“So,
it
(Dhoni’s
words)
hit
home
for
me
because
I
have
always
been
looked
at
as
someone
who
is
very
confident,
mentally
very
strong,
who
can
endure
any
circumstances
and
find
a
way
and
show
us
the
way.
Sometimes,
what
you
realise
is
that
at
any
given
point
of
time
in
life
as
a
human
being
you
need
to
take
a
couple
of
steps
backwards,
understand
how
you
are
doing,
how
your
well-being
is
placed.”
Kohli
offers
the
reason
for
Dhoni
reaching
out
to
him
while
stressing
the
point
of
them
going
through
similar
phases
in
life
and
career.
Kohli
also
believes
that
the
compassion
Dhoni
showed
was
such
a
touching
experience
for
him.
