<\/p>\nI was waiting for the right time. For Virat to ease into the role, now he has. I feel it is the right time. People ask and question who is the best captain, who is the right captain,\u201d he said as India prepares to take on England in the first ODI on January 15 in Pune.<\/p>\n
When queried on his role now that he\u2019s no longer captain, Dhoni said he would continue to help the team from behind the stumps and provide assistance and ideas to Kohli. \u201cODI is a slightly easier format than Tests for the captain.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My job is to give him (Kohli) my thoughts from behind the stumps. From my side it will be a flow of information as much as possible. Same to other bowlers too so as now to confuse them with too many ideas. If I go out with 100 ideas to him he is open to saying no to all of them because at the end of the day, he has to be making the tough choices.\u201d<\/p>\n
As Dhoni\u2019s career went on, he started to play further down the order and allowed the youngsters to play higher up. That aspect may well not change with the introduction of Yuvraj Singh into the side but Dhoni maintains the decision needs to be made for the betterment of the team. \u201cI always felt that it is difficult for newcomers to play at 6 or 7.<\/p>\n
I felt I should take the responsibility to play six or seven down. I would have prefered to bat at 4 or 5 but what\u2019s important for me is to see if a youngster can bat at 4 or 5. Even now I\u2019m ready to bat at whatever position the team needs me to bat in,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
