In a recent practice session in Ranchi, Mahendra Singh Dhoni was spotted using a bat with a Prime Sports sticker. Prime Sports is the company owned by his childhood friend Paramjit Singh, who had a significant influence in Dhoni's early cricketing journey.
Paramjit Singh, along with other friends, played a crucial role in shaping Dhoni's career.
This camaraderie was perfectly portrayed in the Sushant Singh Rajput-starrer film MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, highlighting the immense contributions of friends during the former India captain's formative years.
