5 things that Virat Kohli learnt from Mahendra Singh Dhoni

#4 Intolerance to fielding lapses

Kohli has taken forward Dhoni’s culture of placing value on good fielding

Dhoni defied everyone’s panacea on how to deal with pressure situations. His ever-expressionless cool head did not make us believe that he was human. But the only thing that miffed him was bad fielding. Dhoni insisted on having good fielders in the team and bashed some of the players’ lack of proper attitude when fielding.

An incident in the first ODI against England in which Kohli failed to cleanly gather the ball on two occasions. he was able to trap the ball the third time around and celebrated the moment by showing the ball to the crowd. The series of events testifies the importance Kohli puts on the fielding.
