Dhoni to go to Tihar jail next week…..Wondering why?
After entertaining crowds in every part of the cricket globe, India's
cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and some of his teammates may turn up in Tihar jail next week for a
Twenty20 tournament involving the inmates.
According to a Tihar jail source, the jail
authorities have approached Dhoni, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh and Ajay Jadeja
to turn up for the Twenty20 Tihar Winter Olympics Cricket Tournament's final
next week.
Among them, Dhoni and Gambhir have expressed their
interest to be part of the event, though they have still not confirmed their
participation.
"We have approached these players and are now
waiting for their confirmation. We can only tell you the details only after we
get their approval", the source said.
The participating teams are made of Tihar
prisoners and the cricketers would only play a few overs to encourage them, the
source said.
If the jail authorities manage to rope in the star
players, each of the four participating teams will have at least one
professional cricketer in its ranks.
Back in 1994, Sachin Tendulkar played cricket in
Tihar while World Cup winning captain Kapil Dev has also played there on a few
occasions.
