This was not the first time that a CSK player turned a teacher for his junior. Earlier, CSK skipper MS Dhoni was spotted sharing some wicketkeeping skills with young Mumbai Indians (MI) wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan.
Earlier, DD bought Lamichhane at Rs 20 lakh during the IPL players’ auction held in Bengaluru earlier this year.
