"We have been playing since 2008/09, there's still an age gap. So I don't know whether I would say like I am an older brother or colleague or whatever name you give it. But at the end of the day, we have been colleagues, you know, who played for India for a very long time. He has been amongst the best when it comes to world cricket," Dhoni said during an event.

Kohli took over the captaincy from Dhoni when the latter stepped down from leading India in late December 2014 in Tests and in late 2016 in the white-ball format. Dhoni also played under Kohli's captaincy in white-ball cricket after leaving the Test format.

Dhoni led India to win the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup, and 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. MS Dhoni is the only captain in history to win all 3 ICC white-ball trophies.

Meanwhile, Kohli who lost the recent ODI series against Sri Lanka, is expected to return in the two-match series against Bangladesh at home this month.
