During 2011, MS Dhoni was conferred the post of honorary lieutenant colonel in the Territorial Army. He then got commissioned into the 106 Para TA batallion. Dhoni also had gone through the para basic course in Agra and had completed para jumps, which fetched him his parachute wings.
Dhoni was also seen with the same insignia logo in the recently concluded IPL.
