Dhoni, who played under Virat Kohli for some time, later retired from internationals. In this case, Virat Kohli was very active in taking over the captaincy of the white ball team from Dhoni before handing over the captaincy. Sridhar, the former fielding coach of the Indian team, said that Virat Kohli made efforts for that in 2016.
In his book about his cricket training and journey, Virat Kohli mentioned that he was very interested in getting the ODI and T20 captaincy from Dhoni. But Ravi Shastri, who was the coach of the Indian team, also said that he prevented it. “One evening Ravi Shastri called Virat Kohli and told Virat Kohli.. Virat will give the white ball captaincy like he gave the red ball captaincy. Until then you should be calm.
Until then, whatever happens, be patient. You should respect him now. Otherwise no one will respect you after you take over as captain tomorrow. They will not cooperate. He will hand over the captaincy to you when the time is right. You don’t go looking for it. He said that the captaincy will come to you,” Sridhar said.
