Dhoni begins para-training in Agra
Agra: Indian ODI skipper and honorary Lieutenant Colonel Mahendra Singh Dhoni has formally begun a fortnight-long session at the Para Training School (PTS) here
Defence ministry spokesman Group Captain Basant B. Pandey, who shared this information with the media on Friday evening, also tweeted and posted a photograph of Dhoni during a training session.
He will attend theory classes for the next five days, then undergo stringent tests and ground training rituals, before para-jumping from the Malpura base.
He has to complete five jumps at the 50 Independent Para Brigade base.
Sources said the parachute, known as round canopy static line, to be used by Dhoni will weigh 22 kilos.
The Agra PTS has a reputation of providing the finest para-troopers who have played pivotal role in the Bangladesh Liberation War as well as Sri Lanka and Maldives operations.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
