Former India skipper Virat Kohli on Thursday led the cricketing world in paying rich tributes to Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who decided to step down as Chennai Super Kings skipper ahead of the IPL beginning on Saturday. Twelve seasons, four title triumphs and five runner-up finishes later, the iconic Mahendra Singh Dhoni has decided to hand over the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings to his trusted lieutenant, Ravindra Jadeja.
"Legendary captaincy tenure in yellow skip. A chapter fans will never forget. Respect always," Kohli wrote on Twitter. Kohli too has stepped down from Royal Challengers Bangalore captaincy to manage his workload.
