FEW MONTHS after inaugurating the first store of his clothing brand ‘Seven’, India wicket-keeper batsman MS Dhoni is all set to step into a new venture.
The Ranchi-lad is all set to inaugurate his first global cricket academy- The Mahendra Singh Dhoni cricket Academy, in Dubai, on November 11. As reported by CricTracker, he will also conduct a special clinic with the budding cricketers. It is learnt that Dhoni will become the only active Indian cricketer to have his own cricket academy.
Sources reported that Dhoni’s company has collaborated with the Dubai-based Pacific Ventures to set up the academy at the Springdales School campus.
