Lieutenant Colonel (Honorary) MS Dhoni is proceeding to 106 TA Battalion (Para) for being with the Battalion from 31 Jul-15 Aug 19. Dhoni had taken a two-month break from cricket to serve his regiment. Dhoni, India's most successful captain, had made himself unavailable for the West Indies tour to ensure his new posting remains hassle free.
