Moreover, former Indian skipper MS Dhoni wished skipper Virat Kohli on his birthday by calling him a PUBG fan. In a video uploaded on social media by BCCI, Dhoni showed an old picture of Kohli with a toy gun in his hand and jokingly said that the picture proves he is a big fan of the game. According to Dhoni, Manish Pandey is not quite adept at playing first-person shooting games like PUBG and he asked Kohli to teach Pandey how to play those games.
