Guest Shivani Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Ranchi, July 11: Mahendra Singh Dhoni`s wait to become a graduate prolongs after the Indian skipper missed his B.Com Part One examination this year duo to international commitments. The prestigious St Xavier`s College has denied to give the promotion to Dhoni, who had taken admission to the institution last year and was entitled to flexi-attendance. "He did not appear in the B.Com Part One examination," said A K Sinha, Head of Examinations, without revealing any more detail. Dhoni also missed his first semester examination held in December last year. "Only when an examinee writes his papers then only his result can be termed as pass or fail. In Dhoni`s case it can be said absent as he missed both his semesters. He can complete his two semesters next year only," Dean Jayant Sinha said. The flamboyant cricketer had cleared 10+2 standard from a local school nearly a decade ago Source Link to comment
Anakin Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 He can do it after he hangs up the boot, which will be after a long time I hope Link to comment

Guest Shivani Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 It's not Then why does Dhoni want to graduate ? Link to comment
graphic23 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Because he wants to lead a life outside of cricket? Anil Kumble had an engineering degree before he came to the team. Whats wrong with it? Link to comment
Anakin Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Then why does Dhoni want to graduate ? What's wrong with that, as long as he has his priorities right Link to comment
Texy Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 for many people education is a self success.... it's an achievement...whether you're a famous player or actor....it's good to be well educated. Link to comment
Jai Ho Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 dhoni need to focus on cricket and worry about degrees when hes done Link to comment
hari504504 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Anil Kumble had an engineering degree before he came to the team. Whats wrong with it? So did Javagal Srinath.. But what use is a degree anyway unless one plans to get a job after hanging up the boots..which is a bit of a long shot in several ways...for one someone like dhoni would've comfortable made enough cash for several generations to live..besides you can't do nuts with a B.com Link to comment
Guest Shivani Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Dhoni and me are batchmates now :--D 1st sem ! :icflove: Link to comment

Dhoni might think this will help him focus on something else for a change, and this might help him. Link to comment

Riley's Girl Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Of course he wants to graduate! Sad as it would be to loose him, he has to think about life after cricket. Besides, education should always be important no matter who you are. Link to comment
Lord Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 i'm in B.COM III.so i'm his senior:--D Link to comment
Lord Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 So you expect him to sit at home doing nothing after he retires from cricket? well he can do something related to cricket.he is good at cricket,so why would he need a degree Link to comment
hari504504 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Degree is just a piece of paper that gets you a job...it has never equated to education in its true sense.. I'm sure Dhoni could do something useful in cricket itself after he hangs up his boots Link to comment
