Virat Kohli, who idolizes his former captain MS Dhoni, has shared plenty of memorable moments with the World Cup-winning skipper. Kohli and Dhoni always had time to chat before or after IPL games in which they led their respective franchises.

Notably, IPL 2021 is the last time that both Kohli and Dhoni remained captains in the cash-rich league that had leveraged the star power of the two cricket icons of the country. Kohli gave up his Royal Challengers Bangalore captaincy at the end of last season. Faf du Plessis was appointed as Kohli’s successor for IPL 2022 while MS Dhoni handed over CSK’s captaincy to his teammate Ravindra Jadeja.

CSK and RCB have been placed in Virtual Group B and face each other twice during the league stage. Their first fixture together will be on April 12 at DY Patil Stadium and they will next square off on May 4 at MCA Stadium, Pune. The final of IPL 2022 is scheduled to be played on May 29.
