MS Dhoni praises Virat Kohli

Indian captain MS Dhoni today lavished praise on Virat Kohli for charting a moral boosting six-wicket win over Bangladesh before the Wednesday's final against Sri Lanka, in the tri-nation cricket series here.

In-form Kohli (102 n.o.) cracked his second ODI century to script India's facile six-wicket victory over the hosts in an otherwise dead rubber at Sher-e-Bangla Stadium.

"He is learning quickly from his mistakes and shaping out well. Early on, in his career, he had committed few mistakes and failed to carry on his innings after a good start. But since the Australia series, he has picked up well which is evident from his performance," Dhoni said after the match.
  
Dhoni, however, reminded that it was the all-round performance of the team which is responsible for the good show. "It's not about individuals performing well, but the whole team is contributing. It's a continuous effort from the side that we are playing some good cricket," Dhoni said.

"We got a good start with (Dinesh) Karthik and (Gautam) Gambhir batted extremely well, and then Virat took over and went on to score a hundred. In cricket, it's important that one carries on through the innings and others contribute and support him. And that's what happened today," Dhoni added.
