“In my first two matches, I couldn’t perform to my potential. So, I used to talk to him (Dhoni) every day and also in between matches. Dhoni told me to believe in my abilities. Rutu (Ruturaj) is my friend so he was always there with me, he supported me and gave me the confidence, saying, ‘You have everything, you just have to believe in yourself because for every player it happens, where they go through this phase’. After the Mumbai (Indians) game, I gained confidence and continued to bowl with that confidence,” concluded Mukesh Choudhary.
