MSD & Kohli’s camaraderie
The camaraderie between the former skipper and the current skipper has always grabbed everyone’s attention and the sight of the duo together in Indian colours will surely be missed as Dhoni announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket on Saturday.
And following in the former skipper’s footsteps, Suresh Raina also decided to end his journey with the Men in Blue on Saturday.

Kohli pens emotional post
While social media went on a frenzy as one of India’s finest finishers called it a day, Virat Kohli took to Twitter, to pen an emotional post for Dhoni.
Kohli posted an image of the former skipper and wrote, “Every cricketer has to end his journey one day, but still when someone you’ve gotten to know so closely announces that decision, you feel the emotion much more.
“What you’ve done for the country will always remain in everyone’s heart.. but the mutual respect and warmth I’ve received from you will always stay in mine. The world has seen achievements, I’ve seen the person. Thanks for everything skip. I tip my hat to you.”
