M.S Dhoni has tackled the best bowlers in the world and beaten the Australians on their own turf. Now the Indian cricket team captain's wish to tickle his grey cells and become a graduate has a Jharkhand college in a tizzy.
We will only gaze at him from outside the classroom.Dhoni did his schooling from DAV Shayamli, but after that cricket took over. He discontinued his studies as he got busy playing Ranji Trophy before being called to don the national colours.
Even the teachers are happy that the Indian skipper is setting the right precedent and being a good role model. "People earn name and fame after completing education but he (Dhoni) will be the first who has earned name, fame and money and then decided to join college," said Walter Bhengra, head of mass communication department at St. Xavier's.
But it may not be cakewalk for the master wicketkeeper-batsman. The college authorities are still finding ways to 'accommodate' their star student.
"Dhoni is an extra-ordinary case. We will try to condone his attendance shortfall. We will have to take up this issue to the academic council of the Ranchi University," Nicholas Tete, principal of St Xavier's, told IANS. "Dhoni has just expressed his desire to pursue B Com (Bachelor of Commerce) course for academic year 2008-2011. He is yet to submit his application form. He will be admitted through sports quota only if he has the required documents," remarked Tete.
