Indian Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Olympic gold medallist Abhinav Bindra were conferred the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Territorial Army by Army Chief General VK Singh in New Delhi.
Dhoni and Bindra have been bestowed the honour for their outstanding contribution in the field of sports and their commitment to Army on various occasions.
'Dhoni has set an example by his discipline and supreme dedication. His leading the team from the front, remaining ultra cool in adversities, maintaining excellent physical standards, and giving all credit to his teammates, is very synonymous to the Army way of leadership,' Army spokesperson said.
'Bindra is youth icon and his qualities as a valiant fighter, dedication, hardwork, supreme concentration and perseverance are synonymous to an Army leader,' the spokesperson added.
.'It's a real honour as I always wanted to be part of the Indian Army. It's (joining the Indian Army) something that I always wanted to achieve as a kid and now that I have donned the Olive Greens, my dream has been fulfilled,' said Dhoni later at a felicitation function.
