Renowned cricketer MS Dhoni, revered for his on-field prowess and humble nature, recently showcased his gratitude in a heartwarming gesture towards his childhood friend, Paramjit Singh. During a net session, Dhoni was spotted with a sticker from Paramjit’s sports shop, Prime Sports, adorning his bat.
This sticker, anticipated to feature in the upcoming Indian Premier League, pays homage to Paramjit’s pivotal role in Dhoni’s cricketing journey, having assisted him with equipment and secured his first kit sponsorship with BAS. While this gesture resonated deeply within the cricketing community, it’s not the first time Dhoni has displayed such generosity.

Somi Kohli, owner of Beat All Sports (BAS), reminisced about Dhoni’s selfless act during the 2019 ODI World Cup in England. Despite receiving lucrative sponsorship offers, Dhoni declined any monetary compensation for endorsing the BAS logo on his bat. Instead, he prioritized his longstanding relationship with Kohli, who had supported him in his formative years.

“Dhoni did not mention any money. He just said ‘Put your stickers on my bats and send them across’,” Somi Kohli revealed in a viral video on social media. Despite attempts to dissuade him, Dhoni remained steadfast in his decision, demonstrating his unwavering loyalty and gratitude towards Kohli and BAS.
During the World Cup, Dhoni sported both BAS and SS stickers on his bat, showcasing his appreciation for the support he received from Kohli’s company. Despite India’s semifinal exit, Dhoni’s innings against New Zealand underscored his enduring impact on the game. It marked the culmination of a remarkable journey that began when Kohli decided to support Dhoni in 1998, leading to a cherished friendship that endured through Dhoni’s illustrious career.
