Dhoni fulfils promise, begins 2-month training with parachute regiment
Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni has begun his two-month training with Indian Army's Parachute Regiment. On Wednesday, Dhoni joined a battalion, which has its headquarters in Bengaluru
New Delhi, July 25: Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni has begun his two-month training with Indian Army's Parachute Regiment. On Wednesday, Dhoni joined a battalion, which has its headquarters in Bengaluru.
Speaking to IANS, sources said the plan had been in the pipeline for a while.
"Just like Dhoni has been one of the greatest servants of Indian cricket, he is also well known for his love for the armed forces. The idea that he would go and spend time with his regiment was in the pipeline for a while, but it took a backseat due to his cricketing commitments.
"This will also help increase awareness among the youth about the armed forces and that is what Dhoni wants," the source said.
The 38-year-old holds the honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Territorial Army unit of the Parachute Regiment (106 Para TA battalion).
