Kolkata: Virat Kohli’s admiration for former India captain MS Dhoni is not a hidden fact. Virat Kohli is on the verge of becoming the most successful Indian Test captain but it seems the run-machine is missing his ‘partner in crime’.

Sharing a picture on social media with former skipper M.S. Dhoni, Kohli said: “Partners in crime…Crime: stealing doubles from fielders at the boundary. Guess who”.

Soon after the post, fans started pouring in their guess claiming it to be the former captain.

Earlier on Tuesday, India and Bangladesh players stayed indoors after landing here, and India head coach Ravi Shastri had to change his initial plan of dropping by due to a delayed flight. But the buzz at Eden Gardens, which will host the second Test, was unmistakable on Tuesday as preparations were in full swing two days ahead of the first-ever Day-Night Test here.

Skipper Kohli and vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane were the first to reach on Tuesday morning with the team following later in the afternoon. Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Umesh and Rohit Sharma are slated to join the team on Wednesday morning.

The historic match will kickoff with Army paratroopers expected to parachute into Eden to hand over a pink ball each to the two captains just before the toss.

This will be followed by the ringing of the Eden Bell by Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
