In a heartfelt moment ahead of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) clash, Virat Kohli hinted that the match might be the last time he and MS Dhoni would share the field together. Kohli’s comments, made on Jio Cinema, were filled with nostalgia and appreciation for the iconic duo’s partnership and the memories they’ve created for India.
Kohli acknowledged the significance of Dhoni playing in any Indian stadium, emphasizing that it’s a momentous occasion for fans. “Me & him playing again, maybe for the last time, you never know – that is a special thing,” Kohli remarked, reflecting on the bond they share and the great moments they’ve had representing India.
Recalling Dhoni’s batting strategy, Kohli praised Dhoni’s composure amidst criticism of his tactics, stating, “People used to say the same about Mahi bhai. ‘Why is he taking the game to 20th over or 50th over.’ But how many matches did he finish for India!” Kohli highlighted Dhoni’s unique ability to remain unfazed by external opinions and to finish matches with confidence.
Kohli’s admiration for Dhoni’s approach to the game was evident as he described Dhoni’s mindset while batting together. “He’s probably the only person who knows what he’s doing! And he’s finishing the game from there. For me, that’s muscle memory,” Kohli explained, illustrating the trust and understanding they shared on the field.
The match between RCB and CSK not only marks a significant moment in IPL 2024 but also potentially signifies the end of an era for these two cricketing legends. As fans eagerly await the match, they’ll be cherishing the opportunity to witness these two icons playing together, possibly for the last time.
As the game progresses, fans and players alike will be reflecting on the immense contributions of Kohli and Dhoni to Indian cricket. Their partnership, both on and off the field, has been a source of inspiration for many, and their legacy will undoubtedly endure for years to come.
