Mahendra Singh Dhoni was recently included in a 15-member committee created by the Defence Ministry in order to review the National Cadet Corps with the hopes of making the organisation more relevant based on the modern-day requirements of the Indian Army.
As the news broke on Thursday, the fans of ‘Captain Cool’ were overjoyed with the fact that someone as beloved and influential as him was given the responsibility to look after the young prospects of our soldiers.

While some believed that this was just another stunt by the Indian government to hide their incompetence with the NCC behind big names, others were certain that Dhoni had no idea about what the NCC was.
NCC is NOT a national issue ..pls ...
Govt is creating a hype for nothing by using big names like Mahindra and Dhoni etc for this and brushing massive challenges in front of citizens under carpet. https://t.co/uoxzCSSvRy

— rach (@FernsRach_18) September 16, 2021Such an honour only adds to the relationship between the former captain of the Indian cricket team and the Indian defence forces. Dhoni was also given the honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Indian Territorial Army and after undergoing a series of training sessions, was declared a qualified paratrooper as well.
Shortly after the semi-final loss against New Zealand during World Cup 2019, which happened to be the last time Dhoni played for the Men in Blue, he went on “national duty” during which he finished a small assignment with the Territorial Army unit of the Parachute Regiment 106 Para TA battalion) in Jammu and Kashmir.
