MS Dhoni lauds Virat Kohli's captaincy after India beat England in 1st ODI

Former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's was all praises for Virat Kohli on Sunday after the new skipper guided Team India to a stunning victory against England in the first ODI in Pune.

The feat was special as India successfully chased down the mammoth 351 run target thanks to the batting exploits of Kohli and Kedar Jadhav who scored his second ODI century against a determined English bowling attack in just 65 balls.

Virat Kohli took over India's reins in shorter formats of the game after Dhoni stepped down as captain earlier this month.

Kohli too heaped praises on Jadhav for his quick knock.

"Kind of shots you can play on this wicket can demoralise the opposition. The way he batted was terrific, not at one stage was he unsure of what he wanted to do. Brilliant knock. Hats off to the shots he played. Even I was in awe. So very very special partnership, I would remember it for a long time," Kohli said during the man of the match presentation ceremony.
