In the cricketing world, where star players often brandish bats adorned with iconic stickers from well-known brands like Adidas, MRF or Reebok, MS Dhoni, the cricket maestro from Ranchi, has chosen a different path. Recent viral pictures circulating on social media captured the former Indian captain practicing in nets with a bat featuring a sticker from “Prime Sports,” a brand unfamiliar to many cricket enthusiasts. The sticker stirred curiosity among fans, prompting a deeper look into the significance of this unconventional choice.
Intriguing story behind MS Dhoni’s new bat sticker
Delving into the backstory of the Prime Sports sticker reveals a touching saga of friendship rooted in Dhoni’s early years in Ranchi. The enigmatic brand is, in fact, owned by none other than Dhoni’s childhood companion, Paramjit Singh. Paramjit, along with a circle of close friends, played an instrumental role in shaping the cricketing destiny of the Dhoni, offering unwavering support and enduring camaraderie. The profound influence of these friendships, beautifully depicted in the film “MS Dhoni: The Untold Story,” underscores the depth of connection that goes beyond the cricket field.
