MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli share a great bond on the field and off the field as well. Kohli never leaves a chance to praise Dhoni and has a lot of respect for the former Indian skipper. The bond between both cricketers was also seen after Royal Challengers Bangalore’s clash with Chennai Super Kings at the M. Chinnswamy stadium in match number 24 of IPL 2023.
After the match, Dhoni and Kohli were seen talking to each other and sharing laughs. Kohli took over the captaincy duties from Dhoni in all formats for the Indian team in 2017. However, after the 2021 20-20 World Cup, Kohli stepped down from the T20I captaincy. After that, the Indian cricket board sacked him from the ODI captaincy as well, after which he also decided to give up on Test captaincy. In an interview, Kohl also mentioned that it was only Dhoni who texted him during that time.

Talking about the match, CSK defeated RCB by 8 runs in a high-scoring thriller. Batting first, CSK posted a mammoth total of 226 runs for the loss of 6 wickets.

After that, Moeen Ali added the finishing touches as CSK crossed 220 runs.
Chasing the winning total, RCB didn’t have a great start as they lost 2 wickets at the score of 15 runs in two overs. After that, skipper Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell took charge of the innings and 126 runs for the third wicket. Maxwell got out after smashing 76 off 36 with three fours and eight sixes.
