Chennai Super Kings' youngster Ruturaj Gaikwad has penned an emotional note for the franchise's captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on his official social media profile.
Sharing two pictures -- one from his first meeting with MS Dhoni in 2016 and the other from a match in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League -- Gaikwad revealed how Dhoni helped him through the tough time.
Gaikwad wrote, "October 2016 I met him for the first time fractured my finger during my debut ranji game,He was the mentor of Jharkhand ..And he himself came and asked me about how I am!!"
"October 2020..3 low scores,he himself came up and talked about life!! Fortunate to be able to share the dressing room with him.."
He further wrote that it was "more than a dream" for him to bat alongside MS Dhoni.
"And more than a dream to share the 22 yards with him and Finishing things off!" he wrote.
Gaikwad tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of the start of the tournament and missed a number of games as he recovered from the disease. He had a poor start to the tournament too, as he registered three single-digit scores and spent a large part of the tournament on the bench.
However, the youngster made a remarkable comeback to form in the last three matches of the tournament, scoring three successive half-centuries to steer CSK to victory in all the three matches.
