Indian captain Virat Kohli took to his official social media profile to wish MS Dhoni on his birthday. The legendary former Indian skipper is celebrating his 39th birthday on Tuesday.
Virat has played alongside Dhoni for the entirety of his international career so far. The Indian batsman made his international debut under MS Dhoni's captaincy in 2008 and since cemented his place as one of the best cricketers to play for the Indian team.
The partnerships between Dhoni and Kohli have often aided India to some memorable victories over the years. Kohli was the part of the Indian team which lifted the World Cup under MS Dhoni's captaincy in 2011.
As Dhoni celebrates his 39th birthday, Kohli took to Instagram to wish him. "Happy b'day Mahi bhai. Wish you good health and happiness always. God bless you," wrote Kohli.
The duo last played together for India during the semifinal of the 2019 World Cup against New Zealand.
