What makes Dhoni special?

When you look at the helmets of the Indian players, you might have noticed the image of the tricolour along with the logo of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

You might also have noticed that Dhoni did not keep the tricolour symbol on his helmet like other players. 

You might think that by not wearing the tricolour on his helmet like other Indian players he might seem like anti-national.

You know he has attained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Indian Army , which is a shining example of Dhoni's patriotism.

Wicket-keepers wear the helmet only when facing the fast bowlers and not slow bowlers. They keep their helmets on the ground when facing slow bowlers.

Since Mahendra Singh Dhoni, apart from being a batsman, was also a wicketkeeper fielder, and sometimes he had to keep his helmet on the ground.

Dhoni may be off the view that keeping the helmet on the ground was an insult to our tricolour.

For this reason he did not consider it right to put the picture of the tricolour on his hamlet.

But we should appreciate Dhoni's patriotism expressed even in such a subtle way.
