Chennai Super Kings salutes skipper MS Dhoni for taking up national duty

Seeing MS Dhoni’s name in the defence committee for NCC, his IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings took to Instagram to pay the ‘Thala’ a rich tribute.

Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni will be donning multiple hats in roles with India cricket team as well as for the Ministry of Defence. Dhoni, who holds the honorary rank of Lt. Colonel in the Indian Army, was named in the committee constituted by the Ministry of Defence for a comprehensive review of the National Cadet Corps (NCC).

Dhoni retired from international cricket last year on August 15 and has since only featured in the Indian Premier League (IPL) to lead the CSK. However, after the IPL 2021, Dhoni will be seen as Team mentor for Indian side at the T20 World Cup 2021 next month.

Seeing Dhoni’s name in the defence committee for NCC, his IPL franchise CSK took to Instagram to pay the ‘Thala’ a rich tribute. CSK posted Dhoni’s famous quote on national duty with a picture of him wearing the army uniform while standing next to the Indian flag.
