He completed the last rites to his mother and eventually joined CSK camp for the match against Mumbai Indians. Mukesh also took a wicket, as CSK went on to win the game by a massive total of 103 runs. Following this, Ruturaj Gaikwad went on to dedicate the victory to Mukesh Choudhary.
Even though his mother passed away, Mukesh Choudhary joined the team for the crucial game against Mumbai Indians. In the post match presentation, Gaikwad said, “I told the team that we need to win this game for Mukesh, glad everyone contributed and we could dedicate this win to him.”
