That’s right. The ODI skipper successfully completed his first para jump from an Indian Air Force aircraft at the Agra base to make yet another proud addition to his illustrious list of achievement.
Dhoni, who was made an honorary Lieutenant Colonel in 2011, had reportedly undergone a rigorous 2-week training programme at the Paratroopers Training School in Agra prior to the jump.
After jumping from the AN32 aircraft, it took the cricketer 70 seconds to make a landing, NDTV reports.
MSD will have to make four more jumps from the height of 10,000 ft to become a qualified parajumper, reports said.
Here’s a short clip of the feat captured by ABP Live.
