Ranchi: Only a few weeks are left for the start of the new season of IPL. The pictures of Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni’s preparation for the new season are already viral on social media. In fact, it was the sticker on the bat that Dhoni used during practice at the Nets that got the attention. Dhoni’s bat sticker is the name of his childhood friend Paramjit’s sports shop in Ranchi (Prime Sports).
The social media is now singing the praises of Dhoni’s human mind, who did not forget how many big companies came forward with big offers. But this is not the first time that Dhoni has sided with the common man, forgoing his crores. Somi Kohli, the maker of the BAS bat used by Dhoni during his rise to fame, has now shared his old memories.
Dhoni put the BAS sticker on his bat following rejecting the offer of other companies that were worth crores of rupees.
Dhoni didn’t say anything regarding money. It just said put your stickers on my bat. I tried to convince Dhoni that you are giving up such a lucrative contract. He rejected the contract worth crores of rupees. His wife told the witness, father and mother. Even told his chartered accountant from Ranchi and his friend Pamrajit. Everyone came to Dhoni’s house before the World Cup. But Dhoni was firm in his decision,” Somy Kohli said in a video shared on Sports Launchpad’s YouTube channel.
