Dhoni makes a BIG move after IPL 2025 season, he has decided to…
CSK captain MS Dhoni. (Photo: ANI) Former India captain MS Dhoni had a season to forget in IPL 2025 with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The 43-year-old was retained as an 'uncapped' player for just Rs 4 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. However, after an injury to regular skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, Dhoni was forced to take over the reins of the faltering CSK team in the middle of the season. However, Dhoni's 'Midas Touch' as captain deserted him in IPL 2025 as CSK finished in last place in 10th position with just 4 wins to their name. MS Dhoni is known as 'Captain Cool' The Jharkhand wicketkeeper is also known as 'Captain Cool' for his ice-cool nature under pressure. Weeks after the IPL 2025 season got over, Dhoni has made a major move to get a 'trademark' for the 'Captain Cool' property under his name. According to multiple media reports, Dhoni has submitted an application online on June 5 via the Trade Marks Registry portal, with the intention to officially claim ownership of the title that fans and the cricketing fraternity have used for years to define him. 'Delighted to share a recent development from the field of trademark law that underscores the evolving role of personality rights and acquired distinctiveness in overcoming relative grounds for refusal,' said Dhoni's lawyer Mansi Aggarwal. MS Dhoni has applied for Word Mark – Captain Cool 🔥 Trademark Class 41 covers services related to education, training, entertainment, sporting & cultural activities. It's applied only for Sports Training, Sports Training facilities and sports coaching services. — WhistlePodu Army ® – CSK Fan Club (@CSKFansOfficial) June 30, 2025 Over the years, Dhoni has been become synonymous with the nickname 'Captain Cool'. It sums up his calmness under pressure, from guiding India to the 2007 T20 World Cup title to lifting the 2011 ODI World Cup and clinching the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013. The move to trademark it signals a strategic brand play, likely aimed at leveraging it across categories such as apparel, digital content, and merchandise. Cristiano Ronaldo, Michael Jordan as have their trademarks These kind of business decisions are common among global sports icons. While NBA and basketball legend Michael Jordan capitalised on the 'Jumpman' Air logo on Nike apparel, football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo turned 'CR7' into a business empire Dhoni continues to be a formidable commercial force even post-retirement. He has a brand valuation pegged at Rs 799 crore in 2024 and over 35 major endorsements under his belt. The former India skipper has the record of leading in the most matches in the IPL. Dhoni has captained in 235 matches in the IPL with 136 wins and 97 losses. Rohit Sharma is way behind him in second place on the list with 158 matches as captain and Virat Kohli is in third place with 143 matches in charge in IPL.

'Hope Jasprit Bumrah teaches me some bowling skills': Neeraj Chopra gears up for NC Classic
India's Neeraj Chopra (PTI Photo/Ravi Choudhary) India's double Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra is gearing up for the much-anticipated NC Classic, but ahead of the event, he took a break from training for a candid chat with official broadcasters JioStar, offering a fun mix of insights, reflections, and even a few cheeky predictions. In a light-hearted moment, Neeraj revealed which cricketer he believes could've excelled in his sport: 'I have heard that Brett Lee was a javelin thrower. I think he could throw the javelin well, especially when he was in his peak years.' Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Lee, known for his blistering pace during his cricketing career, apparently has a javelin past — something Neeraj found intriguing. But that wasn't his only cricket-javelin crossover. India's pace ace Jasprit Bumrah was also on Neeraj's wishlist. 'I would like to try javelin with Jasprit Bumrah too, and hope he teaches me some bowling skills. While bowling and javelin are both throws, they are very different. I would like to learn from Bumrah.' Asked whose superpower he'd want to borrow for the perfect javelin throw, Neeraj didn't hesitate: 'Sachin Tendulkar. He represented our country so well for so many years. The way he faced challenges from many great bowlers and still performed exceptionally — I would want that superpower. It would help me handle challenges with a calm mindset.' Despite being at the top of his game, Neeraj steers clear of superstition on event day, adding, 'I don't think too much about it. I just focus on giving my 100%. I try to stay relaxed, eat good food, and rest well.' As for the best piece of advice he's received? That came from his coach, Jan Železný, the world record holder in javelin. 'He tells me to run in a flow — like an 18-year-old without tension. That it shouldn't feel tight. I'm learning the importance of flow. Like Roger Federer — it never seemed like he was putting in too much effort. I'm trying to bring that into my training.' Shubman Gill's captaincy debut wins praise: Gambhir, Kotak & Jaiswal react! Closing out the conversation, Neeraj found a fitting cricketing comparison for javelin technique: 'The Helicopter Shot by MS Dhoni.' With the Neeraj Chopra Classic around the corner, fans can expect more than just record-breaking throws — perhaps even a few friendly crossover challenges with cricket's best. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

Neeraj Chopra: ‘Would like to try javelin with Jasprit Bumrah… think Brett Lee could throw the javelin well'
Neeraj Chopra has named Brett Lee as a cricketer who he feels could have been a good javelin thrower had they not been a cricketer and expressed his desire to try his hand at javelin throw with India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. After winning the Paris Diamond League meet and the Ostrava Golden Spike event in consecutive weeks, Neeraj Chopra is back home in India, preparing for one of the most significant events of his season, the Neeraj Chopra Classic 2025. The standalone javelin throw tournament bears his name, and he will be star attraction when the event starts on July 5th, Saturday at 7 pm. Before the event, Neeraj sat down with the official broadcasters of the event to talk about his sport. Neeraj was asked which cricketer he believed would be best suited to take up the javelin. Neeraj said: 'I have heard that Brett Lee was a javelin thrower. I think he could throw the javelin well, especially when he was in his peak years. I would like to try javelin with Jasprit Bumrah too, and hope he teaches me some bowling skills. While bowling and javelin are both throws, they are very different. I would like to learn from Bumrah.' Recently, after winning the Paris Diamond League meet, he was asked by an American media company if he had tried cricket bowling since the delivery strides are similar. Neeraj had explained that while in javelin the release point of the throw is aimed skywards, in cricket the ball is released in a downwards direction. But he had expressed his desire to try his hands at baseball pitching someday when he was in the USA. Asked which cricketer's superpower would he love to borrow for the perfect javelin throw, Neeraj said: 'Sachin Tendulkar. He represented our country so well for so many years and made so many records for us. The way he faced challenges from many great bowlers and still performed exceptionally — I would want that superpower and try to do the same. It would help me handle challenges that come my way with a calm mindset.' Asked if he was superstitious, Neeraj said: 'I try to stay calm on the day of my event. I don't think too much about it. I just focus on giving my 100%. I try to stay relaxed, eat good food, and rest well.' In the interview, while talking about the best advice he has received, both on and off the field, Neeraj said: 'It came from my coach Jan Železný, who also holds the world record in javelin with a throw of 98.48 metres. Whenever I throw, I stay very energetic, but he tells me that I need to run in a flow. It shouldn't feel tight — I should run like an 18-year-old kid without any tension. I'm slowly understanding the concept of flow. I think that in any sport, flow is very important. For example, Roger Federer — he played with such grace and rhythm that it never seemed like he was putting in too much effort. I'm trying to bring that into my training.'
