Watch: MS Dhoni consoles Mukesh Choudhary as he drops three catches vs RCB
Chennai Super Kings’ pacer Mukesh Chaudhary had a torrid outing against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Tuesday. The left-arm seamer did pick up the wicket of Virat Kohli, but he dropped three catches in the match. He also conceded 40 runs in his three overs.
It seemed like the ball was following the youngster everywhere in the park. After the second dropped catch, former CSK skipper MS Dhoni walked down to Chaudhary, he put a brotherly arm around his shoulder and was seen comforting the youngster. MS Dhoni’s warm gesture of putting his arm around Mukesh Choudhary took social media storm.
