Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the former Indian cricket captain and one of the country’s most admired sports icons, has now added a new title to his long list of achievements, certified drone pilot. Dhoni recently completed formal drone pilot training at Garuda Aerospace’s Remote Pilot Training Organization (RPTO) in Chennai, which is approved by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). This milestone is especially noteworthy as Dhoni is not only an investor in the drone startup but also serves as its brand ambassador.
The training program included a combination of ground schooling, simulator sessions, and hands-on flying experience. Dhoni’s certification confirms that he is now officially authorized to fly drones under the regulations. According to the Garuda Aerospace team, Dhoni showed great commitment during his training and picked up flying skills quickly, reflecting the same focus and discipline he once brought to the cricket field.

MS Dhoni Makes Spiritual Visit To Dewri Mandir In Ranchi Along With His Family
Former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni recently visited the famous Dewri Mandir near Ranchi with his family. Known for his deep faith, Dhoni offered prayers and took part in rituals at the temple, which is located about 60 kilometers from Ranchi in a village called Diuri (Tamar).
The Dewri Mandir is dedicated to Goddess Durga and is known for its unique 16-armed idol. The temple is believed to be over 700 years old and is special because both tribal priests and Brahmins perform rituals together. Dhoni has visited this temple many times in the past, often before major cricket tournaments, and considers it his lucky place.
During this visit, Dhoni stayed humble as always. He prayed with his family, took part in aarti, and greeted fans patiently despite the crowd and tight security. His connection with the temple has made it more popular over the years, attracting many visitors and boosting local tourism.
This visit once again showed Dhoni’s simple and spiritual side, as he stayed true to his roots while continuing to inspire fans both on and off the field.
