Dhoni-Team India's Captain

APART FROM STUDIES DHONI IS DOING A FILM WITH HIS FRIEND JOHN ABRAHAM.

Seems to be funny. Isn't it? But this is true. Indian Cricket Team Caption Mahendra Singh Dhoni is now making news sensational with regard to his academic arena. Building on his reputation as a ‘finisher’ in ODIs, India’s cricket captain is attending to some unfinished business—a Graduation Degree.


Normally so many rumors and gossips used to arouse in the life of celebrities. But Dhoni’s move to urge Graduation is already confirmed by St Xavier’s College Principal Nicholas Tete. He said that Dhoni is seeking admission in the institute through the sports quota.It is in this connection that he met Ranchi University Sports Director Jai Kumar Sinha.

Dhoni has expressed a wish to pursue B Com from the college. But he’ll have problems attending classes both owing to his cricket engagements as well as his star status. We’ll need to complete other formalities including the University’s permission,

The principal’s fears don’t appear unfounded as the local hero, chief guest at the finals of the Inter-Class Canvass Ball Cricket Tournament in the college, created a mini-stampede when hundreds of students surrounded him in the Campus

A Commerce Degree may help him manage the millions he will make from the IPL. And, perhaps, decipher the number of zeroes in the next cheque which comes his way, till the euphoria of India’s victory over Australia lasts. A bachelor’s degree may also make the heartthrob of millions the most eligible bachelor among the Men in Blue. He has enrolled for Office Management and Secretarial Practices on 6^th September. 

The news is that John Abraham and Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni are going to act in a film titled ‘Hook Ya Crook’. The film is inspired from the 1981 Hollywood film, ‘Escape to Victory’, which featured football star Pele. UTV, who had earlier made Goal, a football-based film, want Hook Ya Crook to be an authentic cricket film. The climax will be a huge cricket match like Ashutosh Gowariker’s Lagaan. Indian cricket captain Dhoni is being brought on board to share the field and cinema space with the rest of the cast and also to help his teammates give a believable spin to the game.

Indian wicketkeeper/ batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni has already walked the ramp and appeared in big brand advertisements with big stars like shahrukh khan. Now Dhoni is all set to act in a music video. He is in fact playing himself in the album cut by model and singer Rani, who also happens to be Bhojpuri superstar Manoj Tiwari's wife.Rani calls Dhoni's appearance in the album a brotherly favour."He is like my brother. Actually my brother Arun Pandey and Dhoni are friends," Rani says about Dhoni's appearance in the album. Taking a break from net practice before the South Africa tour, Dhoni's in Mumbai only for a day to shoot for the music video. Yet, for a cricketing superstar, the choice to make a debut in a music album is a little strange to say the least.

CRAZY FOR BIKES:-

He also has the hayabusa bike gifted to him by his good friend John Abraham. He also rides the bike in the ground itself after any one from his team wins the bike after the match.

HE IS ICON:-

He celebrates his winning against Australia by ordering his first designer watch. It was a diamond studded Rolex that cost as much as some cricketers did at the Indian Premier League. And when he bought it, it made him think, “I made it!”

What catches Dhoni’s fancy are audacity, unorthodoxy, and character. The flamboyance comes from the accessories: funky belts, ankle high suede boots, and leather jackets. Even his self-designed wicket keeping gloves make a statement.

His greatest indulgence: His boots. It is reported that he recently splurged on nine pairs of boots, especially handcrafted for him from RM Williams, a premium footwear brand. The two rather unusual accessories that seem to have caught the public’s fancy: his hair and his motorcycles. “I love speed, but I am not rash!” declares the 27-year-old captain.

And in his list of must have is a private jet. “I still don’t think I can afford that!” I may have raced my Ducati against a fighter plane, Building a mansion in Ranchi, but I have yet many milestones to cover like winning a 50 over World Cup and flying a plane. He is always experimenting with his hairdos.  During his early days, when he was playing first class cricket, Dhoni sported shoulder-length hair. Whenever he walked out to bat a few in the fielding side would scream ‘LO TARZEN AA GAYA’. There is a misconception that Dhoni drinks a lot of milk. In fact he likes flavored milk.

PAST TIME: - He loves the hind songs very much especially of Kishore kumar and lata mangeshkar. On his tour he usually hooked on his lap top playing games on it.During his free time. Play station 1, 2, 3 are his favorites.

ICE-COOL PERSONALITY: - He was relaxed the morning after India won the T-20 World cup.”Sab kuch normal rakhne ka.” He told this scribe as the breakfast table.

DEMANDED SECURITY:-

He demanded ‘Z’ category security from the Jharkhand Government after the Mumbai bomb blast. Before that he has a security with him. Once an over-enthusiastic woman caused a flutter by managing to hug Mahendra Singh Dhoni while the Indian cricket team was boarding a bus back to the hotel after the conclusion of a conditioning camp for Bangladesh tour. Seen all this Jharkhand govt. has provided him the security. He has security all over with him. He also got lady guards with him to keep away the lady fans of him.

He has also asked for the 9mm pistol for his own security. He loves shooting and it was proved when he was seen shooting during the Pakistan tour last year. He also believes in god and we can see that from the pooja he does whenever he is in Ranchi.

Iss “WADA” se mujhe Bacchao

After 46 months of continuous cricket and media attention, team India will have 43 days free to enjoy. Till September there is no cricket for Team India. The cricketers will be away from the cricket. They can enjoy their private life during this free time. But, this will remain a dream for them as they will not be able to enjoy their privacy.

Players are asked to make their 3 months schedule in advance. The players will have to tell WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) their schedule from 6 A.M. to 11 P.M. for all the 7 days of the week for 3 months in advance. They will have to remain drug free for all the 365 days in the year. They will have to be ready for the test any time 365 days whenever they are asked to give the test. If the players miss the 3 tests then they will be treated guilty under the WADA Act.

They will also have to keep 1 hour free for the Dope test. For this they can fill online form or can mail their schedule to WADA directly. This new rule came from January, 2009. The earlier rule was little liberal having the time limit from 5 A.M. to 11 P.M. for only 5 days a week. They had to be prepared for only 3 times for the test. But now the rules have changed and the players will have to work according to the rule made by WADA.

The players of team India is not in favour of leaving their privacy and thus they have written a letter to the BCCI about this. Harbhajan, Yuvraj, and Sehwag have written the letter to BCCI. They are against the rules of the WADA. BCCI has joined the WADA rule before 3 years and now the players will have to follow the rule made by WADA as BCCI come under WADA.

The cricketers will have to follow the rule as they cannot break the chain and rule according to their wish. Cricketers come under BCCI, BCCI comes under ICC and ICC comes under the rule of WADA, so players are under the rules and they have to follow the rules.

The WADA works for all the sports all over the world. The Indian cricketers are the not only players who are against the rule, but there are other players from other sports who are of same opinion. Rafel Nadal, the tennis player had told ITF (International Tennis Federation) about this. Lolo Jones, American athletic has also shown her disagreement against WADA rule.

 

Mongoose Bat: New invention in T20 cricket

T20 form of cricket is a new form of cricket. It has changed the definition of the cricket and after the IPL and T20 World Cup its popularity has climbed many mountains. There are different shots and rules which has been included in the game to make it more interesting for the viewers. There is another big change in the game after permitting the Mongoose Bat and the Double side bat in the T20 format.

We all have seen the original cricket bat having the size of 38 inch long and its breath of appro 4-4.25 inch. The original bat was first used in the year 1624. It is about 385 years old. But it will be replaced by the Mongoose Bat and double side bat soon in T20 format. The original will be in the ODIs and the Test matches. These bats are long and the grip is short.

Mongoose Bats are boon to the batsman and curse to the ballers as the players can easily throw the ball to the boundary, can make it a six and can easily play the reverse sweep shot. The length of the grip and the handle is more then the original bat. The grip and the handle is double in the size as well as the blade is double in size. It is around 5 cm in thickness. The grip is made around 43% long then the original cricket bat.

It can be easy for the batsman to play the York length ball and can convert that into 4 or 6. It can make the big strokes very easy. Sweep area is made stronger so that a batsman can hit the ball very hard. There are some drawbacks as well like the splice/shoulder is made short. Because of this the batsman cannot defend easily, so it becomes compulsory for the batsman to come forward for the defence.

The double side bat can be used to play shots from both the sides of the bat easily. It is straight from both the sides which help to play from both sides. Reverse sweep shots can be easily played in less time. With the original bat the batsman has to curve his wrist and hit the ball for the reverse sweep, but with the double side bat he can hit the ball without curving the wrist which saves around 2-3 seconds.

Both the bats have been used in the game earlier. Stuart Law from Australia has already played with the Mongoose in a match. David Warner from Australia has played with the double side bat for South Australia against New South Wales. With the changes in the format there are changes which happen in the tools of the game. ICC is thinking of changing the colour of the ball for the Test match which can be reduced from 5 days match to 4 days day-night Test match. Besides this the Australian and the New Zealand Wicket-Keepers were seen wearing a new type of helmet which can protect their head and the face.
