"We have an amazing companionship" - MS Dhoni on his relationship with Virat Kohli

During a conversation on JioStar ahead of IPL 2025, MS Dhoni opened up about his equation with Virat Kohli off the field. He revealed that they are friends despite the presence of a line between them due to his seniority. Dhoni said:

"I gave him honest opinions. That’s how the relationship grew. It was more of a captain and a newcomer at that point in time. But once you keep interacting, you become friends. I still feel that there is a line in the middle - of a senior and a junior. But we are still friends. So, we have an amazing companionship. Both of us are not captains now, which gives us more time together before the toss."

On Kohli's attitude during his early days, Dhoni continued:

"Right from the start he was someone who wanted to contribute. He was someone who was never happy with 40 or 60. He wanted to score a hundred and remain not out in the end. That hunger was there right from the start. He quickly improved his batting, and that will to perform and score was what kept him going. He raised his fitness levels. He has always been like that."

The two stalwarts will clash again this season when RCB and CSK meet in the 52nd match of IPL 2025 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on May 3.
