Dhoni’s experience will be vital for both Kohli and the Indian team in the matches to come. The Ranchi-born, who has two World Cups and a Champions Trophy to his kitty, insisted that he will be assisting Kohli on the field.
“Wicketkeeper is always the vice-captain of the side,” Dhoni said. “I will have to keep a close eye on what the skipper wants. I already had a chat with Virat on where he wants his fields.”
