MS Dhoni is a legend of the game, says Indian skipper Virat Kohli

TIL Desk Sports/ Indian skipper Virat Kohli once again has come to defence of underfire MS Dhoni, saying the wicketkeeper-batsman is a “legend of the game” whose keen understanding and experience has held the team in good stead and won them many matches over the course of the years. “Dhoni knows exactly what he wants to do in the middle. When he has an off day here and there, everyone starts talking. We always back him. He has won us so many games.

 The best thing about having someone like him is when you need those 15-20 runs, he knows exactly how to get them. His experience, eight out of 10 times has come good for us,” Kohli said on Thursday after India”s emphatic win over West Indies in the ongoing World Cup.

“We have quite a few players who play instinctive cricket and follow their game plans. He”s such a keen understanding of the game. Always sends us feedback, that you know 260 is a good score. He”s a legend of the game. We all know that. Just hope he can continue,” he added.
