Kohli has been discussing tactics with Dhoni on the field. He admitted that the former Indian Captain had the most priceless inputs for the Indian team. “His inputs are always precise and very helpful at any stage of the game.”
“As I said in the last game we discussed about the part-timers and mentioned about it. And I thought why not. Let’s give bowlers a break. They probably might be feeling the pressure and the part-timers have nothing to lose.”
“So that actually slowed the game down,” he concluded. “Yes, you’re making decisions, but the inputs from such experienced players are priceless at any stage of the day.”
