MS Dhoni applies for 'Captain Cool' trademark days after being inducted into ICC Hall of Fame: 'Accepted and advertised'
When you think about the phrase 'Captain Cool', your mind immediately ponders over MS Dhoni. Such has been the impact of the former India captain's antics on the field that no one else comes close in terms of remaining calm and composed on the field. It looks like even MS Dhoni realises no one owns the term 'Captain Cool' like he does, and possibly, this is the reason why the World Cup-winning captain has filed a trademark application for the phrase. India's World Cup-winning captain, MS Dhoni, has applied for the 'Captain Cool' trademark. (PTI) According to news agency PTI, MS Dhoni's application for 'Captain Cool' is currently "accepted and advertised." According to the Trade Marks Registry portal, the application was published in the official trademark journal on June 16, 2025. The trademark has been registered under the category of sports training, providing facilities for it, and sports coaching and services. Dhoni is one of the most successful Indian captains, having led the team to the T20 World Cup win in 2007, the 50-over World Cup win in 2011 and the Champions Trophy in 2013. Under him, India even made the final of the 2014 T20 World Cup and the semi-final of the 2015 ODI World Cup. According to PTI, the trademark application for the phrase 'Captain Cool' was also filed by another company, Prabha Skill Sports (OPC) Pvt Ltd. However, that application's status is showing as 'rectification filed'. Also Read: MS Dhoni, India's two-time World Cup-winning captain, inducted in ICC Hall of Fame In India, if someone wants to register a trademark, they need to first file an application with the Trademark Office. The application is then checked for proper format, and the merits of the same are examined. Once the examiner's doubts are cleared, the trademark is accepted and published on the official Trade Marks Journal. Dhoni inducted into ICC Hall of Fame Earlier this month, Dhoni was inducted into the ICC's Hall of Fame for the year 2025, alongside Matthew Hayden, Graeme Smith, Daniel Vettori and Hashim Amla. "It is an honour to be named in the ICC Hall of Fame, which recognises the contributions of cricketers across generations and from all over the world," Dhoni said in an official statement. "To have your name remembered alongside such all-time greats is a wonderful feeling—something I will cherish forever," he added. Dhoni represented India in 90 Tests, 350 ODIs and 98 T20Is. He remains the only captain to win all three ICC white-ball trophies. His unbeaten 183 against Sri Lanka in 2005 remains the highest score by a wicketkeeper in ODIs. He scored more than 10,000 runs in the 50-over format at an average of 50.57. Apart from his heroics with the bat, he is also known for his lightning speed behind the stumps. Dhoni was last seen in action for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL 2025 edition. He took over the captaincy midway through the tournament after Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out due to a hairline fracture on his elbow. Despite his best efforts, CSK finished at the bottom of the table for the first time.

Yashasvi Jaiswal Back To Mumbai As MCA Approves Withdrawal Of NOC: Report
Last Updated: Yashasvi Jaiswal will represent Mumbai in the upcoming domestic season as the Mumbai Cricket Association has withdrawn his No Objection Certificate. Star India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal will be available to represent Mumbai in the upcoming domestic season, as the Mumbai Cricket Association has agreed to withdraw his No Objection Certificate, which he had bagged to move to Goa in a surprising step in a crucial stage of his career. Mumbai Cricket Association president Ajinkya Naik confirmed to The Indian Express that the Apex Council accepted Jaiswal 's withdrawal application. Jaiswal is currently in England for a five-Test series and began on a high with a hundred at Headingley, which was eventually overshadowed by four dropped catches. 'We have accepted Jaiswal's withdrawal of NOC application and he will be available for Mumbai during the forthcoming domestic season," Naik said while speaking to The Indian Express. In May, reports surfaced saying that Jaiswal has written an email to the MCA to withdraw his No Objection Certificate and said that he is available to represent Mumbai for the next domestic season. 'I, the undersigned, would request your goodself to consider my request in withdrawing my NOC given to me as I had some family plans in shifting to Goa, which for now has been curtailed," Jaiswal had written to the MCA. In April, the star Indian batter had taken the Mumbai Cricket Association officials by surprise when he sought a No Objection Certificate to move to Goa. The latter had qualified for the knockouts of the Ranji Trophy. 'Goa has thrown me a new opportunity and has offered me a leadership role. My first goal will be to do well for India, and whenever I'm not on national duty, I will be playing for Goa and try to make them go deep into the tournament," Jaiswal had said while speaking to The Indian Express. The star Indian cricketer had moved from Suriyawan in Uttar Pradesh's Bhadohi to Mumbai at the age of 11 to pursue cricket. Jaiswal has represented India since his U19 days and burst onto the scene with a double hundred in the Vijay Hazare Trophy some seasons ago. First Published: June 30, 2025, 20:58 IST

US Open: Ayush Shetty Wins Maiden BWF World Tour Title; Tanvi Sharma Runner-Up
Rising shuttler Ayush Shetty notched up his first BWF World Tour title with a commanding straight-games victory over Canada's Brian Yang in the men's singles final of the US Open Super 300, ending India's title drought this season. The 20-year-old, a 2023 junior world championships bronze winner, defeated the third seeded Yang 21-18 21-13 in 47 minutes on Sunday to cap off an impressive week, which included a come-from-behind win against top seed Chou Tien Chen in the semifinals. It was Shetty's third victory over Yang, having defeated him twice earlier this year at Malaysia and Taipei Open. "It means a lot, it's my first title in the senior circuit. So I'm really happy," the 6 ft-4 inch shuttler told BWF. "There are a lot of positives to take away. I played some excellent badminton here, and I'm looking forward to the Canada Open next week." In the women's singles final, 16-year-old Tanvi Sharma finished runner-up after a fighting three-game loss to top seed Beiwen Zhang of the United States. Playing her first World Tour final, the unseeded teenager went down 11-21 21-16 10-21 in 46 minutes. "I'm very happy with my performance. I was a bit nervous before entering the court, and I made many mistakes. This is my first Super 300 final, so I'm happy about that," Tanvi said. Shetty vs Yang The men's singles final began evenly with scores tied at 6-6, but Shetty, seeded fourth, surged ahead with a string of winners to lead 11-6 at the interval. Yang narrowed the gap to 13-11 and drew level at 16-16, but Shetty regained control with well-placed shots to secure the opening game with a decisive jump smash. The second game saw the Mangalore shuttler race to a 7-2 lead before Yang briefly caught up, but the Indian maintained composure, mixing variations and sharp defence to keep his opponent at bay. Leading 17-12, Shetty closed out the match with a cross-court punch followed by a powerful smash to seal his maiden World Tour title. "He was defending quite well in the first game. I varied my smashes a bit, played some half-smashes and drops and that made a difference," said Shetty. "In the first game I was hurrying a bit playing some sharp strokes. In the second game I was more confident, I opened up the game and that made the difference." Shetty had reached the finals of 2023 Odisha Masters Super 100 tournament, besides making the summit clash at the 2023 Bahrain International and 2024 Dutch Open. Tanvi vs Zhang In the women's singles final, Tanvu struggled to settle early as Zhang built an 11-5 lead in the opening game, which the Indian couldn't breach. In the second game, Tanvi came out attacking, taking a 4-0 lead and maintaining her advantage despite Zhang pushing her with long rallies. From 11-9 at the interval, the Indian continued her aggressive approach, forcing errors from Zhang and taking the game to force a decider. However, Tanvi ran out of steam in the third game as Zhang surged to an 11-4 lead at the break and closed out the match comfortably to claim the title.
