Former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will soon join the Indian Army. From 31st July to 15th August, he will be on duty with the parachute regiment of Territorial Army in the difficult terrain of Kashmir for which he is undergoing training in Bengaluru. Meanwhile, a video has come up in which he is talking to people at an event in Chennai. In the video, he is talking about life after the age of 50 and the importance of marriage with a twist of humour.
“The real need of marriage is, once you cross fifty, it’s a time of real love, where your children are going to schools and colleges and that’s the time you get for yourself,” Dhoni said in the video.
“I will not say it to the investment but it is the same. Some invest more, then some less. Only after you are 50 years old, you think like this. I do not think people here are more than 50 years old. So it will take time to mature in that way,” he added.

The veteran cricketer received an honorary rank of lieutenant colonel by territorial army in 2011. He got this rank in the parachute regiment of the Indian army. He is expected to return for the home series against Faf Du Plessis’ South Africa, starting September.
