MS DHONI APPOINTED AS BRAND AMBASSADOR OF ONLINE MATRIMONIAL SERVICE

Former team India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who has been left out of the upcoming limited-overs series against Australia, has been roped in as brand ambassador of a popular online matrimonial platform. On the occasion, Dhoni said he was happy to back a brand that has created "millions of happy marriages".

"We are proud to be associated with Dhoni," said Murugavel Janakiraman, Chief Executive Officer of Bharat Matrimony.com

According to him, Dhoni made a good fit as brand ambassador as "he is an inspiration for millions of youth because of what he has achieved for the country through his admirable leadership qualities". Janakiraman further added that Dhoni also "inspires (people) through his happy marriage, (as a) caring dad and loving husband image".

On the cricketing front, Dhoni's exclusion from the Indian T20 set-up has been making headlines for quite some time now.
