MS Dhoni refused to inaugurate the Dhoni Pavilion in Jharkhand

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a modest man and no wonder he has politely refused to inaugurate the pavilion named after him at the JSCA Stadium. 

According to Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA) secretary, Debashis Chakraborty, JSCA had asked MS Dhoni to inaugurate his stand ahead of the third ODI between India and Australia. But, Dhoni did not agree to inaugurate the pavilion.

Just like the Sunil Gavaskar stand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai or the Virender Sehwag gate at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi, the swanky Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA) stadium will have its very own "Mahendra Singh Dhoni Pavilion".

On Wednesday, Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA) secretary Debashis Chakraborty said, "At the AGM last year, the decision was taken that the North Block stand that comprises media enclosure as well as VIP boxes would be named after Dhoni". 

"We requested him but he said 'Dada apne hi ghar mein kya inaugurate karna'. (What's there to inaugurate in my own house). He is still so humble and down to earth", Chakraborty said.

The third ODI against Australia on Friday is expected to be Dhoni's last game in his home town but the JSCA top official said they do not have any special plans in place.
