New Delhi. The Indian team is currently in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the Asia Cup 2022 T20 tournament. India has to play its match with arch-rivals Pakistan on August 28 (Sunday). Rohit Sharma is leading the Indian team. However, the eyes of the fans are on Virat Kohli. Kohli has been struggling with the bat for the last few months and has not been playing up to his laurels. Amidst the difficult days of his career, Kohli has remembered former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Late Thursday (26 August), Kohli has written an emotional post sharing his old picture with Dhoni.
Virat Kohli wrote on Twitter, “Being the trusted deputy of this man was the happiest and most exciting phase of my career. Our partnership will always be special to me forever. 7+18″. This post of Kohli immediately went viral. Kohli made his debut for the Indian team in the year 2008 under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Between 2008 and 2014, it was under Mahi’s captaincy that Kohli raised the level of his game.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni suddenly handed over the captaincy to Virat

In the next two years, Dhoni left the captaincy in white ball cricket as well. Then Virat Kohli became the captain of Team India in all three formats. Virat Kohli is the most successful Test captain in Indian Test cricket history.
Asia Cup 2022 will decide the future of Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli’s Asia Cup will land at number three in 2022. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul are set to open. In the last few years, thanks to IPL and domestic cricket, many young players are knocking on the door of Team India.
Amidst Kohli’s poor form, many former players have expressed uncertainty about his place in the playing 11. However, the Indian team management is constantly supporting Kohli. Captain Rohit has also openly come in support of Virat.
In October-November this year, the Indian team has to play the T20 World Cup in Australia. If Virat does not perform well in the Asia Cup 2022, then it will be very difficult for him to retain his place in the Indian T20 cricket team.
