“I got out to a lap shot against Anil Kumble. I was LBW. So, I was standing inside the dressing room, and he was coming inside, where there was a small water bottle.
MS just kicked it out of the park. We all just couldn’t make eye contact with him,” Badrinath said about Dhoni. For breaking news and live news updates, like us on or follow us on and .
