Meet MS Dhoni’s friend Paramjit Singh, man behind CSK skipper’s success who got him his first bat sponsorship

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the captain of the Chennai Super Kings, has a truly inspiring and tenacious tale about how he began his career in cricket and ultimately went to the top to become the leader of the Indian cricket team. He received assistance from a buddy from Ranchi named Paramjit Singh throughout this difficult trek.

You might recall a Sikh friend of MS Dhoni who had a tiny sports supplies shop in Ranchi, Jharkhand, and helped the Team India player secure his first sports sponsorship if you saw the smash hit movie MS Dhoni: The Untold Story starring Sushant Singh Rajput.

This friend, Paramjit Singh, is one of the people responsible for MS Dhoni’s success. Dhoni’s first cricket uniform was sponsored by Paramjit Singh, and before the season even began, the wicketkeeper was capable of competing at the Ranji Trophy level.

Who is Paramjit Singh, MS Dhoni’s friend from Ranchi?

Paramjit Singh runs a small sports equipment shop in Ranchi, the county seat of Jharkhand. Singh, who was a former cricket player himself, saw MS Dhoni’s potential and encouraged him to advance because he was his junior.

The only friend who stood by Mahi through thick and thin was Paramjit, who also secured MS Dhoni’s sponsorship for his bat. To secure this sponsorship for Dhoni, who was then a burgeoning cricket star, he spent six months travelling to Jalandhar.

Even though he had the opportunity, Paramjit Singh claimed in an interview with Jagran that he never once went to the stadium to witness Dhoni play for Team India. Instead, he keeps his eyes riveted to the tiny TV in his Ranchi sports shop.

A bat signed by MS Dhoni and the complete Team India is displayed behind Paramjit Singh’s sports supplies business, which he still owns and operates in Ranchi.
