Badrinath highlighted Kohli’s exceptional fitness level, suggesting that the 35-year-old cricket icon could continue playing the shortest format of the game for another four to five years.

The conversation also turned towards MS Dhoni and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), with Badrinath praising Dhoni’s fitness and leadership qualities. Dhoni’s ability to maintain peak physical, mental, and emotional condition has been central to CSK’s success, according to Badrinath. He remarked on Dhoni’s focus on game-critical performances over personal records, citing his impactful, though sometimes not high-scoring, innings. Dhoni’s captaincy, especially in guiding a relatively inexperienced bowling attack, has been instrumental in CSK’s achievements, reinforcing his role as the team’s cornerstone.
