India won in its match of the World Cup 2019 against South Africa. During the match, Dhoni was seen wearing gloves with a Balidan Badge on his gloves. ICC noticed the sign and has asked Dhoni not to wear the same gloves in their next matches. News Channels seemed to have a lot of opinions about the topic. In this article, we will tell you in detail everything you need to know about Dhoni’s Balidan Badge.
According to ICC regulations, players cannot sport anything that is related to political, religious or racial activities. On Thursday, ICC requested the BCCI to have the Balidan logo removed from Dhoni’s glove. Dhoni, an Honorary Lieutenant Colonel in the Parachute Regiment had it printed for India’s match against South Africa.
What is the Balidan Badge?
The Balidan Badge is a dagger with wings, similar to that on the badge of special forces. However, the Special Forces Badge also has the word “Balidan”, which was seen missing from Dhoni’s gloves.
BCCI’s decision on the matter
BCCI has denied the claim of ICC saying, “Dhoni did not breach any ICC regulations” as the logo on his gloves is not the paramilitary regimental dagger. The Committee of Administrators of the BCCI has sent a formal request for clearance to the ICC regarding allowing the Balidan on Dhoni’s gloves.
People’s say on this?
People, as usual, have supported M.S. Dhoni on this matter and in many tweets have said to improve the quality of their umpires rather than on such small things which are not even related to cricket. People have shown full on support and have asked Dhoni to continue wearing the gloves possessing the Balidan Badge sign.
Well, Dhoni without any intention of doing so has raised a certain controversy and people are showering their support towards him.
