He May Be Team India Skipper, But Virat Kohli Still Values The Tips From MS Dhoni And Calls Them Priceless
Kohli took over as limited overs skipper in January.
The Indian cricket team is in the semifinals of the Champions Trophy and Virat Kohli is leading from the front with two fifties in 3 games.

But even though he is in charge, the 28 year-old has no hesitation in admitting that he still goes to MS Dhoni for advice. Yes, the same man he succeeded as skipper.
¡°His input is obviously always very precise, very helpful at any stage of the game. Today it was all about asking him whether to keep the slip in there long enough or what does he think of the fields and just taking assurance,¡± said Kohli while speaking to to the media.

¡°Obviously you don¡¯t want to feel isolated out there. Yes, you¡¯re making decisions, but the inputs from such experienced players are priceless at any stage of the day,¡± he added.
Even earlier in the year, he was seen consulting Dhoni on field changes, reviews and bowling options. The man may be skipper but he has no problem in using Dhoni's experience.

Dhoni certainly could not be happier that Kohli is coming to him for help which he gives readily. Indeed the torch has been passed to the right man.
India face off against Bangladesh on June 15.
