Cricketer MS Dhoni is the new CEO of Gulf Oil—but there’s a catch!

The right-handed batsman, known for his fearless hitting, will be seen in action in the cash-rich extravaganza Indian Premier League, starting April 5

Cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who achieved many a feat during his career so far, has added another feather to his cap after he was appointed as the CEO of Gulf Oil India for a day. Confirming this news, Arun Pandey, who manages Dhoni’s commercial interests, told a sports website that Dhoni, dressed in corporate attire, attended all the special meetings of the company.

The right-handed batsman, known for his fearless hitting, will be seen in action in the cash-rich extravaganza Indian Premier League, starting April 5. Dhoni is a part of Rising Pune Supergiants team.

Recently, he stepped aside as the skipper of the Rising Pune Supergiant franchise. It was seen as an unexpected move, but that is his style. He was also the former captain of the Chennai Super Kings franchise, helping the yellow brigade to two IPL crowns.

MSD’s association with the automobile lubricant started in 2011 when he was named as the brand ambassador of the company.

Recently, the former Indian captain came into limelight after his wife Sakshi took to Twitter to slam CSC e-governance Services India Ltd for making Dhoni’s Aadhaar card details public.

Earlier, CSC e-governance Services India Ltd tweeted a picture scanning Dhoni’s finger and getting his Aadhaar updated. Not only this, the company, responsible for generating Aadhar cards, also tweeted his application form, which revealed all his personal details.

The 10th season of Indian Premier League is set to start from April 5. Bollywood stars like Shraddha Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff among others are expected to perform during its opening ceremony scheduled to be held in Hyderabad.
