Virat Kohli's response to ‘We Miss You Dhoni’ placard melts Twitterati down

In fact, Dhoni was instrumental in appointing Kohli as Indian captain after he decided to relinquish the captaincy duties. Similarly, after taking over as captain, Kohli always trusted the veteran stumper without any doubts because of the immense trust he had in him. But since India’s heartbreaking exit from the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, Dhoni didn’t play for India and eventually retired from international cricket on August 15 earlier this year.

The Indian veteran returned to cricket after a long hiatus by leading Chennai franchise in the Dream11 IPL 2020, however, fans are missing him in the blue jersey. Moreover, Kohli is also missing his presence on the field now. During the second T20I between India and Australia, some fans had made a big placard which read, ‘We Miss You Dhoni’.
