CG Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is coming to Dubai. Not to play a cricket match, but to launch a new perfume brand, that the star cricketer has been closely associated with. On January 30, 2013, Madinat Jumeira in Dubai will host the global launch of 7 by MS Dhoni, an exclusive line up of fragrances developed by celebrated cricketer MS Dhoni and Beauty Contact. "The development of the new line builds on my own preferences for fragrances that remain fresh and have an international appeal," Dhoni said in an earlier statement. Dhoni is the first Indian cricketer to have his own line of fragrances. The Economic Times reported that DhoniÃÔ estimated earnings from brand endorsements is over Rs70 crore (Dh60 million) a year. India's World Cup winning captain is one of only two cricketers named among the top 100 highest paid athletes in the Forbes rich-list announced last year. The other is Indian batting icon Sachin Tendulkar. Dhoni is said to be earning more than world number one golfer Rory McIlroy who is spoken of in the same breath as Tiger Woods. Dhoni ranked 30 in the Forbes rich-list is above Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney (37), top ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic (61) and also earns more than Olympic spring legend Usain Bolt (63). Considered to be one of the most destructive batsman in one-day cricket, Dhoni's leadership qualities have come under fire following a series of Test series losses to Australia and England. However, India's talismanic captain has bounced back to win the ODI series at home against England leading from the front. http://www.emirates247.com/sports/cricket/smells-like-msd-indian-cricket-captain-dhoni-in-dubai-for-global-launch-of-perfume-2013-01-28-1.492720
rkt.india Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 That is how he is making the most of this break.
1983-2011 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 hes only gonna spend half day at max promoting it and half day travelling. nothing wrong with it
Number Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Nothing wrong with it. He can do whatever he wants in personal life. I remember Sehwag saying about himself that if someone criticises his technique, shot selection its fine. But if someone starts criticising him on his personal life then he will get really angry and may as well start physical fight with that person. :giggle:
rkt.india Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Nothing wrong with it. He can do whatever he wants in personal life. This is not his personal life. These are the endorsements which came to him since he is an Indian cricketer and Indian captain and huge public figure in India.
Desi Cartman Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Its been reported that Jaddu has already ordered 1000 of the bottles which are supposed to smell like dhoni :icflove:
BeautifulGame Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 This is not his personal life. These are the endorsements which came to him since he is an Indian cricketer and Indian captain and huge public figure in India. Sakshi too married him probably because he is Indian captain and huge public figure in India. So I assume it isn't personal life either

CG Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 He is very tired' date='So he tries to refresh himself by advertising products in dubai to india .He knows his ship is sinking so better make hay while sun shines.[/quote']
philcric Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 The thing is how many things you are gonna get into. Plays all 3 formats. WK. Captains India in all formats. Captains CSK in IPL and CL. Promotes some 40 products. Shooting Ads. Bikes. Bike Racing Team. Dogs. Rhiti Sports. Jadeja. Playing an international sport (and leading a team) is a privilege,, you are in a unique position to make millions of people happy. With it comes responsibility and a certain level of commitment and sacrifice. You cannot be a businessman maximizing your earning potential while playing top level sport. Don't tell me you cannot get distracted with so many obligations outside the sport.
Desi Cartman Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Why would any guy ever buy something that is called smells like msd or anyone else ? I wouldn't

vamos_rafa Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Nah I prefer aquatics and newer ones are always a copy of aqua di gio or leu di issey. Oh. but I thought if the perfume is not good enough, then we can have another thread calling Dhoni a shameless person for releasing sub standard fragrances.
