Team India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his newest lieutenant Pragyan Ojha have something in common. They are both in the first year of their BCom and ironically, both of them want to complete their degree whatever comes their way
Dhoni is studying at St Xavier's College, Ranchi, while Pragyan has taken admission at Bhavan's College in Hyderabad. So, do the two share notes when they meet? "When you meet Dhoni, studies are the last thing that's on your mind. It is actually an opportunity for me and we have only spoken about cricket so far," he smiles.
Pragyan then goes on to reveal something startling about his captain: Dhoni actually taught his 'classmate' to walk the runway! "We were a part of this exercise where we were showcasing the new Team India jersey and it required me to walk the ramp. I never thought that one day I will have to do that and the thought of a million flashbulbs on my face made me even more nervous! It's so easy to face the toughest rookie on the pitch than walk the runway,"
he says. "That was when Dhoni came up and gave me confidence. (During rehearsals) He told me not to look at the audience, just walk normally and slowly, with a smile, and then turn back."
