'Shastri said 'Look Virat, you have to respect MS'': When 'eager' Kohli wanted Dhoni's white-ball captaincy

Hindustan Times  

The transition of captaincy in Indian cricket teams is not always smooth. After Virat Kohli took over the Test team’s reins, there was an impatience regarding Dhoni’s leadership future with the white-ball team. R Sridhar, the fielding coach of the India team at that time, has revealed this detail in his new book, ‘Coaching Beyond- My days with the Indian cricket team’ written by cricket writer R Kaushik. Sridhar highlights how Kohli was quite eager to become the white-ball captain as well after being appointed captain of the Test team. Kohli took the advice well and became India's all-format captain in 2017 when Dhoni stepped down.
