Former Indian Cricket Team skipper #ViratKohli paid glowing tributes to his former leader MS Dhoni and said that his respect and connection with MS Dhoni is genuine. Addressing the press conference after losing to Pakistan in Asia Cup 2022, Kohli said, “When I left Test captaincy, only MS Dhoni messaged me. A lot of people have my number, but no one messaged me. The respect and connection with him (MS Dhoni) are genuine. Neither he is insecure about me, nor I am insecure about him.”

Each time #AjinkyaRahane hit the turf last year, he was been viewed with a microscopic lens. In his last 15 Tests, Rahane scored just 547 runs in 27 innings. He averaged just 20.83 from 13 Tests last year. The axe seemed closer to him after yet another poor series in #SouthAfrica, a tour for which he was relieved of the Test vice-captaincy. The #Mumbai stalwart is now back in a familiar setting, with his #RanjiTrophy teammates, in a quest to get his mojo back. In a candid interview with mid-day, Ajinkya Rahane opens up about his lean phase, the intense scrutiny on him, how he plans to bounce back and why Test captaincy remains special for him.
