MUMBAI: India skipper Virat Kohli fell short of words to pay his tribute to MS Dhoni, saying he will always consider the legendary wicketkeeper-batsman his captain.

"Words fall short a lot of times in life and I think this is one of those moments. All I can say is you will always be the guy who sat in the last seat of the bus. Not saying much but your presence, aura say a lot," Kohli said in a video message posted by BCCI on Twitter.

"For me, you have always been that guy and I am sure you will continue to be so. We have shared a great friendship, camaraderie and understanding and that has happened because you always played for the same goal which is to make the team win."

"It's been a pleasure playing alongside and under you. You have shown faith and belief in me which I'll always be grateful for. I wish you the best in the next phase of life. I've always said this and I will say it again, you will always be my captain," added Kohli. IANS
