Can you please pick just constant one team Mr. Kohli or are we asking for too much?

This is where both men are most different to one another.

During his time as skipper, rarely did we see Dhoni alter sides, particularly winning combinations as he looked to battle on with a side that had delivered in the previous game.

Even when it seemed like India might have been better off changing sides based on the conditions on offer or form, Dhoni would invariably back a set group of players to come up with the goods in the next game and keep faith on them.

Kohli, on the other hand, has never fielded the same side on 34 straight occasions.

Certain changes out of those 34 have worked, while others have just been plain bizarre.
