Mukul Choudhary’s Dhoni Connection Becomes Fan Favorite Story
Mukul Choudhary has been on the headlines ever since he helped Lucknow Super Giants pull off a thriller chase. However, only a few fans know about his inspiration from MS Dhoni. His post match presentation talking about Captain Cool is now winning hearts.
In the IPL 2026, fans were missing on the availability of MS Dhoni, as they were unable to see the helicopter shot. Amidst all this, someone else decided to take command of the helicopter shot, and it was none other than Mukul Choudhary. In the clash against Kolkata Knight Riders, he gave some of the finest helicopter shots, showing his inspiration with Dhoni.
After the game, he also talked about Captain Cool and how he acted as an inspiration for him. Mukul said,“MS Dhoni has been my idol - I have watched him since childhood, at the death overs, bowlers usually bowl yorkers - and I have been practicing the Helicopter shot since childhood.”
He also talked about finishing the game for his team just like MS Dhoni. Mukul continued by saying,“I had a dream to finish a match like my idol, MS Dhoni whom I have grown up watching - now I have done that so early in my career.”
Our Take
MS Dhoni has acted as an inspiration not just for Mukul Choudhary, even for several other players. Various youngsters who have already made it to the Indian team have talked about how Dhoni has inspired them to a great extent. It still remains to be seen what happens in the clash between Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings, as Mukul Choudhary could finally go against his idol, MS Dhoni.
