The bond between MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli is quite open, where both players have talked at length about each other on several occasions. The Dhoni-Kohli bond is once again in focus, after an old video of Pakistan wicketkeeper batter Umar Akmal resurfaced, where the cricketer was narrating a story when Dhoni backed a struggling Kohli in 2013. In the viral video, Akmal recounted that during a dinner session, Dhoni received a call from a selector, who urged the removal of Kohli from the national side due to poor performances; however, the then-Indian captain opined about taking rest himself, having struggled to score runs in recent matches, to which the selection committee member opposed.
