Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni share tremendous mutual respect: Ravi Shastri

Mumbai, June 30 (IBNS): Indian team director Ravi Shastri has said both Test skipper Virat Kohli and limited overs captain MS Dhoni have 'tremendous mutual respect' for each other.

Rubbishing reports of rifts between the two cricketers, Shastri was quoted as saying by bcci.tv: "What people don’t realise is that there is tremendous mutual respect there between Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni. When MS was at his prime as India’s Test captain, Virat was only a youngster."

"There were times when Virat’s place wasn’t certain in the side and MS stuck by him. Such things are not forgotten. I can sense and see that respect without anyone having to tell me," he said.

India recently suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Bangladesh in the ODI series recently.
