MS Dhoni comforts CSK youngster Mukesh Choudhary
Chennai Super Kings youngster Mukesh Choudhary had a mixed bag of a match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Tuesday. The young pacesetter took Virat Kohli’s wicket with a short delivery, leaving him overjoyed. But his gripping left CSK is a predicament as he has each given life to Suyash Prabhudessai and the dangerous Dinesh Karthik.
While Prabhudessai CSK’s drop catcher didn’t cost much, Karthik’s drop meant the game went deep as the wicket keeper fired the big shots to keep RCB in pursuit. The young bowler was then taken apart in his third over, which meant he finished the match with figures of 1/40 from 3 overs.
However, MS Dhoni is not one to go after players for mistakes on the pitch, given his cool and calm disposition and ability to take pressure.

In the 15th over of the match, Lankan bowler Maheesh Theekshana removed the dangerous Shahbaz Ahmed to bring CSK back into the match. The cameras immediately saw Dhoni walk towards the young Mukesh. The former CSK skipper put his arm around the youngster and comforted him, because he had dropped a babysitter during the previous delivery.
Such a gesture by a senior cricketer like Dhoni is expected to boost a youngster’s morale and it was celebrated by fans on social media.
