Mahendra Singh Dhoni has expressed happiness that Virat Kohli has time and again shouldered extra responsibility in pressure situations but refused to draw comparisons about whether the Delhi batsman was the best India has ever produced in crisis situations.

"Why it is always that we have to come to comparisons. Others also have performed and I don't believe in comparing individuals," said the limited overs captain.

"I have captained for more than five years and I can't recall amount of pressure each individual takes. He (Kohli) has been very consistent for us and ready to take extra responsibility," added Dhoni.
