Indian Fans Take To Social Media To Lend Support To MS Dhoni After ICC Asked Him To Remove The Army Insignia From His Gloves
We all know that MS Dhoni payed tribute to Indian armed forces by sporting army insignia on his gloves. But, the ICC intervened and asked BCCI to ask Dhoni not to sport the insignia on his gloves. But given that MS Dhoni was conferred with the honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Parachute Regiment and had undergone basic training under the Para Brigade in 2015, we understand why he sported the insignia.
After the ICC’s intervention for the removal of the army insignia, Indian fans took to social media and made a case for MS Dhoni and the insignia.
Shame ICC can’t we take our symbols which already in heart on body too..do u want indians to. boycott worldcup..imagine than who loss this worldcup 😉#DhoniKeepTheGlove

You can remove the army things from Dhoni’s pad, cap, bat or Jersey.

But you can’t remove Lt Colonel MS DHONI’s love for the NATION from his heart. 🇮🇳❤️#DhoniKeepTheGlove pic.twitter.com/PgW2OBq9Ht— DHONIsm™ ❤️ (@DHONIism) June 7, 2019
Dear Lt Col @msdhoni
You are an officer of Para Regt. Don’t take off those gloves. Balidaan is a badge of honour. It’s represents the finest of Indian Army. I have always looked at that badge with awe & respect. The nation stands with you.
Jai Hind#dhonikeeptheglove

The ace wicket-keeper was spotted with the regimental dagger – ‘Balidaan Badge’ and it can be worn by personnel who served in the Para Special Forces, and Dhoni had undergone a two-week initial training with the para regiment.
