The mutual respect between MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli is not unknown with both cricketing icons talking about it on numerous occasions. Kohli spent many years under Dhoni's leadership and the captaincy baton was passed on to the talismanic batter by the veteran wicketkeeper-batter. Dhoni has taken retirement from international cricket and Kohli too is in the line, having already announced retirements from T20I and Tests.
But the stories the two share are still most sought after and Dhoni while speaking at an event presented off the field qualities of Kohli. During the interaction, 'Captain Cool' highlighted how Kohli brings the entertainment factor to the table apart from his massive runs.
"He also sings well. He is a good singer. He is a good dancer. He is good in mimicry. If he is in the mood, he is very, very entertaining,” Dhoni was quoted as saying by India Today in a report.

Dhoni on IPL retirement
As per another report by Hindustan Times, Dhoni also addressed the noise around his retirement from the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the same event. The seasoned wicketkeeper-batter, who has led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to five IPL glories, reaffirmed his commitment to the Yellow Army, which goes beyond his playing years.
“Me and CSK, we are together. You know even for the next 15-20 years (crowd cheers). I hope they don't think I'll be playing for another 15-20 years! But yeah,” said Dhoni.
“It's not about one year or two years. I will always be sitting in a yellow jersey. You know whether I’ll be playing or not in a while,” he added.
