Dr. Muthu Kumar, who is an expert in sports medicine, works in London and for the past 15 years has been coming twice a year to give free service at the super-specialty hospital here. After knowing of his availability, Dhoni met him for an hour-long consultation which also gave him an opportunity to witness the kind of treatment given in the hospital.
Dhoni last played for India at the 2019 Cricket World Cup. He will soon be seen in action in the Indian Premier League, where he will lead Chennai Super Kings' bid for a fourth title.
