3. Sharing the Celkon Mobile Cup 2013 trophy with Virat Kohli
The Celkon Mobile Cup is remembered for the fierce brutal batting of MS Dhoni in the last over of the final. Sri Lanka, who were racing towards victory had to defend just 15 runs in the final over. The only obstacle between Sri Lanka and victory was the Indian captain. As Eranga came out to bowl the final over, it took Dhoni just 3 balls to finish the match off in a significant style.
Many people don’t really know that it was under Virat Kohli’s leadership India made it to the final alone. Notably, Dhoni who was injured for the majority part of the tournament with a hamstring injury made a comeback in the final of the tri-series.
After the brutal finish in the final, during the post-match presentation, the captain was called to collect the trophy. As Dhoni walked up to collect the trophy, he was seen pushing Kohli ahead of him for collecting the trophy. That was Dhoni’s acknowledgement towards Kohli for leading India till the finals.
