It is important to note that while 7 is the jersey number of Dhoni, Kohli sports jersey number 18.

It was under Dhoni’s leadership that Kohli became the player that he is today and both stars have time and time again showed the kind of mutual respect they have for each other.

When Dhoni had announced his international retirement in 2020, not many can forget the kind of posts Kohli had put out on his social media, showing the great camaraderie between the two. Kohli and Dhoni are two of the fastest runners between the wickets and their partnerships always showed the kind of trust they had in each other’s calls.

Dhoni had also groomed Kohli as the leader, and there were many instances when Kohli decided to take the opinion of the former India skipper when the going got tough during a game.

Dhoni went on to play 350 ODIs with his highest score being 183 against Sri Lanka. He also remains the only captain to win all major ICC trophies and, in his career, he was referred to as ‘Captain Cool’. The wicketkeeper-batter called time on his international career in August 2020.

On the other hand, Kohli was rested for the series against West Indies and Zimbabwe and he would now be in action in the upcoming Asia Cup, where Team India will square off against Pakistan in their opening fixture on August 28 in Dubai.
