Mukesh Kumar said, “I always wanted to meet Dhoni bhaiya and ask him a few things. This happened because of the IPL. I met him and asked him, ‘What exactly do you tell your bowlers as a captain and wicketkeeper?”

According to Kumar, Dhoni put his arm around his shoulders and shared his thoughts on bowling. Dhoni emphasized the importance of trying and learning from each experience. He told Kumar that a bowler must execute their plans and do exactly what they intend.

Mukesh Kumar further stated, “He put his hands around my shoulders and said, ‘I tell this to every bowler that till the time you won’t try, you won’t learn. It would be best if you did exactly what you want to do. If you won’t, you will not learn. He said to forget the outcome and just go and try. He explained this thing well to me.”

Mukesh Kumar expressed his gratitude towards the Delhi Capitals franchise for allowing him to showcase his talent in the IPL. He acknowledged the faith shown in him and the valuable experience gained by playing alongside some of the best players in the world. Kumar also specifically thanked his Delhi Capitals teammate, Ishant Sharma, for his support and guidance, which played a role in his development as a bowler.
