Dhoni and Kohli shared a visibly comfortable equation even after the latter took over the leader’s mantle and both spoke highly of each other.
Virat Kohli, who is going through a lean patch is set to return for Team India in Asia Cup, following his brief break from international cricket.
Kohli was rested after India’s tour of England ended in mid-July and has played just in four T20s and scored 81 runs since the T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates last year. He also had below-par run in the IPL last season, making 341 runs at a strike rate of 116.
India will start their campaign with the high-voltage clash against arch-rivals Pakan contest on August 28.
Team India will lock horns against their arch-rivals for the first time since the 10-wicket drubbing in Dubai last year but according to Sharma things will be different this time.
