When Team India captain Virat Kohli and opener Rohit Sharma were batting in the middle, you must have seen a tricolor on their helmet. But the helmet of former India captain and wicketkeeper MS Dhoni carries only the BCCI logo. The reason for Dhoni not having a tricolor on his helmet is very special, knowing that you will become a fan of Dhoni.
So a wicketkeeper very often has to keep the helmet at the back in the distance when he does not wear it. A National flag is a symbol of great honour and respect, so it can’t be placed on the ground as the law states. That’s a true conduct, which can be verified by anyone. Hence either you don’t put the helmet with Flag on ground or don’t put the Flag on the helmet at all.
Everyone knows how much MS Dhoni loves his country. The love for the country has compelled him to take up honorary position of Lieutenant Colonel in the Indian Army. MS Dhoni has said many times that if he was not a cricketer, he would have gone to the army. Dhoni spends time with the jawans of the country in free time and also trains like him.
He made his ODI debut in December 2004 against Bangladesh, and played his first Test a year later against Sri Lanka. Dhoni has been the recipient of many awards, including the ICC ODI Player of the Year award in 2008 and 2009 (the first player to win the award twice), the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award in 2007, the Padma Shri — India’s fourth highest civilian honour — in 2009 and the Padma Bhushan — India’s third highest civilian honour— in 2018.
