MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli are the two greatest Indian cricketers. They have won several matches for India across formats in international cricket. However, they play against each other in the Indian Premier League 2024. The last match between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru is a knockout as the winner will qualify for the playoffs in the 17th season.
Kohli is the leading run-scorer in the ongoing season, while Dhoni has batted aggressively. Former India player Irfan Pathan, who has played with Dhoni and Kohli, compared the two with world renowned footballers Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
“When Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni compete against each other, it is like Cristiano Ronaldo is taking Lionel Messi. Kohli and MSD ate the legends of the game and they will try their best to win the game for their respective franchises. They are expected to give their best in the contest,” Irfan Pathan said on Star Sports.
Bengaluru are on a five-match winning streak. After their winless streak for a month, RCB bounced back, with star players playing key roles.
On the other hand, it has been a mixed season for the defending champions.
