The relationship between MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli has been explained by VVS Laxman. VVS Laxman said that Dhoni has the advantage as being a wicketkeeper, it helps him to have the best view to set different and appropriate field placements. He said"It is not only a brilliant moment of today’s game (in Pune on Wednesday) but it has been a brilliant moment from the day Virat Kohli became captain in the ODI format. It is so good to see the rapport between Kohli and Dhoni. He has got the advantage of being a wicket-keeper, who has got the best view of the angles as far as field placements are concerned,”. Laxman praised the Indian captain after the win against New Zealand in the 2nd ODI at Pune and also stated that the on-field chemistry between him and MSD would help the team a lot leading to the 2019 World Cup in England. He also believes that the incorporation of Kohli’s aggression and Dhoni’s calmness will work wonders for the successful fortunes of the Indian team. “Without having any ego, Kohli approaches Dhoni and that is credit to Kohli. Dhoni has abundance knowledge and experience, above that he has got so much of respect, so Kohli depends a lot on Dhoni. This relationship will help India, going forward to 2019 World Cup. Dhoni is a mentor of the India team,”
