In yesterday’s game, Dhoni was seen struggling in the soaring heat. Later, he revealed that his throat had got dry and that’s why he was coughing.
“I tried to get as much as time as possible. It is quite dry out here. So, the throat gets dry and you start to cough. When you have legal signs, you can take some time off,” Hindustan Times quoted Dhoni as saying.
