Kohli the 29-year-old Indian captain said his team needed time to prepare before heading off on such tough overseas assignments.
Dhoni, who is not in the Test side but will be in the ODI team in the upcoming South Africa tour, however, said that as an international cricketer it was a challenge one has to face.
“It is absolutely right because we play so much cricket that we do not get much preparation time when we go overseas to play.
But as an international cricketer, this is also a challenge,” Dhoni said here.
“It takes some time to get used to, but if you see this team, there are many cricketers who have played overseas and it helps a lot. If they get six to eight or 10 days, it is good, but whatever time they get, I think they will do well,” he said in response to a question about Kohli’s statement.
