Sakshi's Special Post For MS Dhoni On 15th Wedding Anniversary Can't Be Missed

Former Indian cricket team skipper MS Dhoni celebrated his 15th wedding anniversary with wife Sakshi on Friday. Dhoni, who is considered to be one of the best captains in the history of Indian cricket, got married to Sakshi Singh Dhoni (formerly Rawat) in a private ceremony in 2010. On the occasion on their wedding anniversary, Sakshi took to social media to share an unseen picture of the couple along with a heartwarming caption. The caption with the picture read - 'We made a promise! Onto 16th". View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sakshi Singh (@sakshisingh_r) Meanwhile, Dhoni has filed for the trademark of his iconic name, 'Captain Cool', with the Trade Marks Registry portal. As per media reports, Dhoni aims to use this trademark for services like training and coaching. His application has been approved and officially advertised. The trademark appeared in the official journal on June 16, 2025. Known for his calm and composed style, which led to India winning three major ICC tournaments under his leadership, Dhoni has leaned into his persona and been innovative with marketing in recent times. His advertisement featuring the song 'Bole jo Koyal' showed him using the trending 'Thala for a reason' is a great example of Dhoni's ever-growing presence off the pitch. Recently, Dhoni has been inducted into the prestigious ICC Hall of Fame. Dhoni, who led India to three major ICC titles — the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup, and the 2013 Champions Trophy — was celebrated by the ICC for his calm under pressure and unmatched tactical nous as well as his trailblazing influence in the shorter formats of the game. Across formats, Dhoni accumulated 17,266 runs, effected 829 dismissals behind the stumps, and played 538 international matches — a testament to his consistency, fitness, and longevity. Though he retired from international cricket in 2020, Dhoni continues to be an influential figure, still turning out for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. After Ruturaj Gaikwad 's injury, Dhoni assumed responsibility of captain and led CSK once again in the 2025 campaign. The men in yellow ended their IPL 2025 campaign at the bottom of the table and the 43-year-old struggled to replicate his past form. He managed 196 runs in 14 matches at an average of 24.50. His strike rate of 135.17 marked a significant drop from the explosive 220.55 he recorded in the previous season.

MS Dhoni files trademark application for ‘Captain Cool' phrase

Former India cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has filed a trademark application for the phrase 'Captain Cool'. Dhoni's calm demeanor on the field in intense moments during games had earned him the moniker of 'Captain Cool'. As per the Trade Marks Registry portal, the status of Dhoni's application is 'accepted and advertised' under class 41. A report stated that while the application itself was filed on June 5, 2023, it was published in the official trademark journal on June 16 this year. The regulations state that the former India cricketer will now have to wait for 120 days. Unless there are any objections or opposition to the trademark raised by a third party during this four-month-long window, Dhoni will be granted it after this period. Interestingly, another company, Prabha Skill Sports (OPC) Pvt Ltd, had earlier filed a similar application for the same phrase. However, the status of Prabha Skill Sports' application now states: 'rectification filed'. Each trademark must be applied or registered under a specific class, with each class representing a distinct category of goods or services. Class 41 of the Trademark Filing Classification, under which Dhoni has applied, stands for 'education; providing of training; entertainment; sporting and cultural activities.' Dhoni will turn 44 next month. He recently captained the Chennai Super Kings franchise in the Indian Premier League where the five-time champions had a woeful campaign, ending at the bottom of the 10-team standings. Dhoni was forced to take over captaincy of the team mid-way through the season after regular captain Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out of the season due to an injury. While there is uncertainty about the CSK star returning for one more season, the wicketkeeper-batter has kept the door open. The legendary cricketer was inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame for 2025 along with seven cricketers, including Australian great Matthew Hayden and South Africa's Hashim Amla, just earlier this month. 'Celebrated for his calm under pressure and unmatched tactical nous, but also a trailblazer in the shorter formats, MS Dhoni's legacy as one of the game's greatest finishers, leaders and wicketkeepers has been honoured with his induction into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame,' the ICC statement said.

MS Dhoni moves to trademark 'Captain Cool', follows in footsteps of Michael Jordan and Cristiano Ronaldo

Former Indian cricket team skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has filed a trademark application with the Trade Marks Registry for the nickname 'Captain Cool'. The latest move by India's World Cup-winning skipper is considered a significant step in strengthening his brand off the field. It appears Dhoni wants to officially claim ownership of the title which the fans and the cricketing fraternity used for years to define him, reported E4M. Dhoni had submitted the application online on 5 June via the Trade Marks Registry portal. The phrase 'Captain Cool' represents Mahendra Singh Dhoni's calm and composed nature on and off the field. The ability to remain calm under pressure helped Dhoni lead India to victory in the 2007 ICC T20 Men's World Cup, the 2011 ICC ODI Men's World Cup and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. Under his captaincy, the Indian Premier League franchise Chennai Super Kings lifted the trophy five times, equaling the feat of Mumbai Indians. Dhoni's move to trademark his nickname signals a strategic brand play aimed at leveraging it across categories, including merchandise, apparel, and digital content. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is not the first sportsman to take this initiative. Michael Jordan had capitalised on his 'Jumpman' logo, and Cristiano Ronaldo set his business empire based on his nickname 'CR7'. In India, former skipper Sourav Ganguly and Bollywood superstar Salman Khan have followed a similar suit with 'Dada' and 'Being Human' for their ventures. Even after his retirement, Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a formidable commercial force, and his brand valuation is pegged at ₹ 799 crore in 2024. He has over 35 major endorsements. Mahendra Singh Dhoni has played 90 Test matches and scored 4,876 runs at an average of 38.1. This includes his six centuries, 256 catches, 3 run-outs and 38 stumpings. In 350 ODIs, Dhoni scored 10,773 runs at an average of 50.6, which included his 10 centuries, 321 catches, 22 run-outs, and 123 stumpings. Dhoni played 98 T20Is, and scored 1,617 runs at an average of 37.6. He took 57 catches, did 8 run-outs, and 34 stumpings.
