Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, popularly known as the Iron Man of India, passed away on
December 15, in the year 1950. One of the most influential personalities to have fought for
Independence, Sardar Patel was born in Nadiad, Gujarat, on October 31, 1875. Hailing from a
farmer's family, Patel lived a simple life and was known for his wisdom and diplomatic skills.
Although his official birthday is still unknown, Patel wrote his date of birth to be October 31
on his matriculation examination paper, hence, the day is celebrated as his birth anniversary
and is also observed as Rashtriya Ekta Diwas or National Unity Day

Born: 31 October 1875, Nadiad
Died: 15 December 1950, Mumbai
Full name: Vallabhbhai Jhaverbhai Patel
Education: Middle Temple , Inns of court , London, England
Awards / Honour : Bharat Ratna (1991) Posthumously
Nicknames: Bismarck of India, Strong (Iron) Man, Sardar, Iron Man Of India
As the first Home Minister
and Deputy Prime Minister
of India, Patel organised
relief efforts for refugees
fleeing from Punjab and
Delhi and worked to restore
peace. He led the task of
forging a united India,
successfully integrating into
the newly independent nation
those British colonial
provinces that had been
"allocated" to India. Besides
those provinces that had been
under direct British rule,
approximately 565 selfgoverning
princely states had
been released from British
suzerainty by the Indian
Independence Act of 1947.
Threatening military force,
Patel persuaded almost every
princely state to accede to
India. His commitment to
national integration in the
newly independent country
was total and
uncompromising, earning
him the sobriquet "Iron Man
of India". He is also
remembered as the "patron
saint of India's civil servants"
for having established the
modern all-India services
system. He is also called the
"Unifier of India". The Statue
of Unity, the world's tallest
statue, was dedicated to him
on 31 October 2018 which is
approximately 182 metres in
height.

Statue of Unity
The Statue of Unity is a monument
dedicated to Patel, located in the Indian
state of Gujarat, facing the Narmada
Dam, 3.2 km away from Sadhu Bet near
Vadodara. At the height of 182 metres
(597 feet), it is the world's tallest statue,
exceeding the Spring Temple Buddha by
54 meters. This statue and related
structures are spread over 20000
square meters and are surrounded by
an artificial lake spread across 12 km
and cost an estimated 29.8 billion rupees
($425m). It was inaugurated by India's
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 31
October 2018, the 143rd anniversary of
Patel's birth. The height of the statue in
meters has been picked to match the
total assembly constituencies in Gujarat

17 life lessons from
Sardar Patel we MUST
follow
* October 3, 1934: Women in one way are
extremely courageous. Men do not endure
the miseries to the extent women do. So
long as women are not sufficiently
educated and inculcated with national spirit,
till then there will be no prosperity.
* October 3, 1950: The education system
should be so reoriented that young men
were taught to do things with their own
hands in the agricultural and industrial
fields.
* September 18, 1950: Young men and
women are to build-up a strong character.
A nation's greatness was reflected in the
character of her people. It was sullied by
selfishness, such a people could not
prosper or achieve great things..
Selfishness had its place in life as everyone
had to look to his own needs and that of his
family, but it could not be made the be-all
and end-all of life.
* January 2, 1935: Freedom is going to be
built up from bottom and not going to fall
from above.
* July 19, 1940: Character is very essential
for real success. One who has no character
can succeed neither in politics not in
commerce. Commercial morality is very
necessary in business. Without honesty
and mutual confidence it is impossible to
achieve success. Intelligence is also
necessary for success in the commercial
field. Fate also has its own place but
without character and commercial morality
everything else fails.
* May 16, 1950: In the history of this
country there has never been such
consolidation as has been today. Indian
history has shown in the past and, if we
take a lesson from past history, then it is
our duty to preserve and consolidate the
hard earned freedom for which many
people have made tremendous sacrifices.
* January 25, 1949: Our prestige has gone
high because of Mahatma Gandhi. People
are praising the manner in which we have
achieved integration of the States without
violence or bloodshed and by peaceful
means and co-operation and in a spirit of
cordiality.
* August 11, 1947: The need of the hour is
to increases the wealth of the country and
this can only be done by putting in more
and more work and thus increasing
production.
* April 16, 1947: Caste, community will
rapidly disappear. We have to speedily
forget all these things. Such boundaries
hamper our growth
Page 7 of 42

* January 5, 1948: Even an inch of
Kashmir will not be yielded. India wanted to
be liberal in setting affairs with Pakistan
and wanted to live and let live. But if
Pakistan wanted to shell India with the
money received from India, it could not be
allowed.
* June 13, 1935: A drunkard can never
become a man of character. He does not
have sense of good or evil. He is not able
to control himself. Therefore, give up
drinking forever.
* October 23, 1935: No one should spit on
the roads, should not throw remnants of
eatables on the streets, and should not
make the places dirty.
* June 16, 1933: Serve the people without
any expectation, and try to be as much
pure as possible by mind, words and
deeds. It you do that much there is not
placed for pessimism. It is but natural that
when you are all alone mind runs a riot, but
if you continuously engage yourself in some
work then the mind will be peaceful.
* September 19, 1950: No distinctions of
caste and creed should hamper us. All are
the sons and daughters of India. We should
all love our country and build our destiny on
mutual love and help
* January 1, 1935: Idleness is the greatest
enemy of man.
* February 12, 1928: Discipline and
organization mean half the battle won.
* September 21, 1929: Unite and you will
not have to fight.
* January 26, 1939: Non-violence has to
be observed in thought, word and deed.
The measure of our non-violence will be the
measure of our success.

What is BMI
Body mass index (BMI) is
a value derived from
the mass (weight)
and height of a person.
The BMI is defined as
the body mass divided by
the square of the body
height, and is universally
expressed in units of
kg/m2, resulting from
mass in kilograms and
height in metres.
The BMI may be
determined using a
table[note 1] or chart
which displays BMI as a
function of mass and
height using contour lines
or colours for different
BMI categories, and which
may use other units of
measurement (converted
to metric units for the
calculation)
The BMI is a convenient
rule of thumb used to
broadly categorize a
person as underweight,
normal
weight,
overweight, or obese based
on tissue mass (muscle, fat,
and bone) and height.
Page 12 of 42

BMI
CALCULATION
BMI in an individual is calculated by the use of a mathematical formula. It can also
be estimated using tables in which one can match height in inches to weight in
pounds to estimate BMI. There are convenient calculators available on internet
sites that help calculate BMI as well.
❖ The formula is - BMI = (Weight in kilograms) divided by (Height in metres
squared)
Page 13 of 42

Categories of
BMI
The WHO regards a BMI of
less than 18.5 as underweight
and
may
indicate malnutrition,
an eating disorder, or other
health problems,
while a BMI equal to or
greater than 25 is considered
overweight and above 30 is
considered obese.[12] These
ranges of BMI values are
valid only as statistical
categories.

What should you
eat to improve your
body mass index?
A
healthy,
nutritionally
balanced diet which
includes lean meat or
protein sources, fish,
vegetables, salad,
wholegrains, reduced
fat dairy products
and fresh fruit will
improve your BMI.
However, it’s not
only about what you
eat, but how much, so
portion control is an
important method of
improving your BMI
too.
You should still eat
your snacks between
meals, but they
should be healthy
snacks – and snack
sized, not meal sized!
Don’t worry, our
personalised meals
plans will detail all of
this for you
Page 16 of 42

What are the
benefits of
improving your BMI?
• Being overweight is a
health risk, so your
physical and mental
wellbeing will benefit
from reducing your
waist measurement and
BMI.
• An excessive waist
circumference is
associated with
increased visceral fat,
which means fat around
the internal organs – a
definite health risk.
• The risk factors related
to being overweight
include cardiovascular
disease and stroke, Type
2 diabetes, high blood
pressure and cancer.
There is increased strain
on the spine, ligaments
and joints and the
internal organs don’t
function optimally,
particularly the kidneys
and liver.
As your improved eating
habits begin to improve your
BMI you will feel more
energised which in turn
makes it easier to enjoy being
physically active, which in
turn helps you to lose more
weight… and so on. It’s a
chicken and egg kind of thing
– both of which are
nutritious foods by the way.

What makes us what we are is influenced by many factors. Based on
research it can clearly be stated, food and nutrition is one of the
important factors that influences our personality apart from
contributing to physical health.
Page 18 of 42

Effects Of Nutrition
On Personality
What makes us what we are is influenced by many factors. Based on research it can clearly be stated, food and nutrition
is one of the important factors that influences our personality apart from contributing to physical health.
First of all let us ask ourselves, what is
personality? Primarily the way we think and
behave and this would include our intelligence
and emotional quotients. A good body and a
good mind often go together. The development
of the brain in the human being begins during
the third week of pregnancy and goes on to
develop to 90 percent of its adult volume by age
6.
Apart from the environmental inputs which
have lasting effects on a person’s personality,
good nutrition, balanced in both macro and
micro nutrients is of vital importance. When we
talk about the cognitive abilities of a person, we
refer to the attention, memory, thinking,
learning and perception of that person. All of
these in the years to come, go on to shape the
skills and the general abilities of a person and
have a direct relationship with a person’s
achievements, including access to better
literacy, lifestyle, self esteem and self control.
As we go on to grow through our lives, the food
we eat; in other words nutrition, among other
factors, go on to play an important role in our
personality.
Broadly speaking a protein rich diet helps
build muscles and stamina and a diet rich in
carbohydrates creates a calming effect. In
addition and equally important are the micro
nutrients in our diet. Based on several studies it
has been established we need 0.8 grams of
protein per day per kilo of body weight if we
have an average lifestyle. Carbohydrates in
addition to having a calming effect, provide
energy and the usual recommended for healthy
eating, is 225 to 325 grams per day, again for the
average person. The intake of both should be
higher if one is involved in intensive manual or
mental work since we burn more calories or less
depending upon our style of living. Yes, despite
the bad name they have earned carbohydrates
are an essential part of nutrition. During
digestion, sugars and starches are broken down
into simple sugars and they then find their way
into the bloodstream and we know them as
blood sugars. From there the glucose enters our
body’s cells with the help of insulin. So whether
it’s exercise or something as simple as moving
the hand or even breathing, it provides the
energy for all the activities we do. Too much of
it and it is converted to fat. At the same time,
not all carbohydrates are equal. It’s always
recommended that those having a sedentary
lifestyle choose carbohydrates that are rich in
dietary fibre.
Studies on micro nutrients have yielded good
results and the importance of these on human
behaviour or personality must be underlined, as
well.
Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, is
well known. He talked about the healing power
of food and further went on to say “Let food be
your medicine and your medicine be your food”.
Let us here take some of the foods and their
major micro nutrients and examine the impact
on our behaviour or personality.
Lack of, Vitamin B1 also known as Thiamine,
has a potent reaction on our moods. Fish, pork,
sunflower seeds, nuts, asparagus, soya beans
and most of the regular humble beans are a rich
source of this essential micronutrient.
Page 19 of 42

Food rich in Folic
acid
Many people across the world suffer from
deficiency of Iron. The result is a
depressive feeling and laziness. My
grandmother used to insist I eat liver,
something most of us hate and she had a
good reason. Liver is one of the richest
sources of Iron. Some of the other good
sources are broccoli, seafood, greens, nuts
and meat.
Although not common, Folic acid
deficiency is associated with depression
and normal brain function. Some of the
foods rich in this nutrient are dark leafy
greens, liver, eggs, kidneys, nuts, sprouts
and oranges.
Let us also examine some of the other foods
containing important nutrients and their
effect on us.
We have all heard about the benefits of
Serotonin. While a diet rich in protein is
good for muscle building and stamina, it
inhibits the circulation of Serotonin in the
brain. Increased levels of Serotonin are
linked to mood elevation, it helps regulate
sleep so one does not get cranky due to
sleep deprivation, it helps regulate
appetite, helps during premenstrual
trauma and helps keep control on
impulsive behaviour. Serotonin is
produced from tryptophan contained in
foods such as clams, octopus, snails,
banana pineapple, plums, nuts, milk,
turkey and eggs. A diet rich in
carbohydrates helps towards synthesis of
Serotonin into the blood stream. You may
have read about a carbohydrate rich diet
being recommended to relieve depression.
This is not carbohydrates per se but also
the help they offer towards absorption of
Serotonin, apart from being energy giving
Page 20 of 42

people should to eat
at least five fruits
and vegetables a day
Some countries give a particular importance to eating habits. On my visit to France and
Belgium, I found it interesting that just before the movie begins in auditoriums they show
a slide or an animated film urging people to eat at least five fruits and vegetables a day.
Kids are even taught at kindergarten level and it has always been a pleasing experience
when I watch the young university students in these countries, there must be more of course,
buying their foods in the supermarkets with care, and they usually include plenty of fruits
and vegetables, whole grain breads and seafood in their trolleys and baskets.

ROLE OF SOCIETY
IN PERSONALITY
DEVELOPMENT
Page 22 of 42

Society in Personality
Development
Society owes an important
responsibility in shaping and
developing an individual
personality, perhaps most of the
attributes of your personality is the
reflection of how well your society
shaped you.
Individuals are different from each
other in number of aspects but their
social behaviour is more or less
remains same. However society
offers you a mix of good and bad
practices, and in shaping your
personality you must understand
the difference between the two. If
your society is progressive and
based more on the fundamental
right standards, then you develop
into a person who will be identified
with the bunch of good traits, and
opposite might happen if you belong
to a failing and depressed society.
Page 23 of 42

An individual's personality is
the complex of mental
characteristics that makes
them unique from other
people. It includes all of the
patterns of thought and
emotions that cause us to do
and say things in particular
ways. At a basic level,
personality is expressed
through our temperament or
emotional tone. However,
personality. These factors
are usually seen as coming
from heredity and the
environment. Research by
psychologists over the last
several decades has
increasingly pointed to
hereditary factors being more
important, especially for
basic personality traits such
as emotional tone. However,
the acquisition of values,
personality also colors our
values, beliefs, and
expectations. There are
many potential factors that
are involved in shaping a
Page 24 of 42
beliefs, and expectations seem
to be due more to
socialization and unique
experiences, especially during
childhood.

Some hereditary factors that
contribute to personality
development do so as a result of
interactions with the particular
social environment in which
people live. For instance, your
genetically inherited physical and
mental capabilities have an
impact on how others see you and,
subsequently, how you see
yourself. If you have poor motor
skills that prevent you from
throwing a ball straight and if
you regularly get bad grades in
school, you will very likely be
labelled by your teachers, friends,
and relatives as someone who is
inadequate or a failure to some
degree. This can become a selffulfilling
prophesy as you
increasingly perceive yourself in
this way and become more
pessimistic about your
capabilities and your
future. Likewise, your health
and physical appearance are
likely to be very important in
your
personality
development. You may be frail
or robust. You may have a
learning disability. You may be
slender in a culture that considers
obesity attractive or vice
versa. These largely hereditary
factors are likely to cause you to
feel that you are nice-looking,
ugly, or just adequate. Likewise,
skin colour, gender, and sexual
orientation are likely to have a
major impact on how you
perceive yourself. Whether you
are accepted by others as being
normal or abnormal can lead you
to think and act in a socially
acceptable or marginal and even
deviant way

6 Ways to Save Your Eyes
If You Stare at a
Computer Screen All Day
Staring at a computer screen all day can wreak havoc on your eyes. Irritated eyes, blurry vision, and headaches are some
of the common signs of a condition called computer vision syndrome. Around 70 million workers worldwide are at risk of
suffering from this syndrome, according to a 2016 study. Apart from the health effects, these workers will also be less
productive, according to a study conducted by the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Although computer vision syndrome is common, you can take measures to avoid it. Here are six ways to reduce the strain
on your eyes when working on a computer:
1. Use Proper Lighting
A main cause of eyestrain is improper
lighting. Excessively bright light from
interior lighting or windows should be
avoided. A good rule of thumb is that the
ambient lighting in your computer
workspace should be about half as bright
as that in the rest of the office.
You can cut down on some of the
unnecessary light by using lower
intensity light bulbs and by having
blinds or drapes on the windows. Plus, if
possible, position your computer screen
to the side of any windows rather than
directly in line with them.
2. Place Your
Computer Screen in
the Optimal Position
You can reduce eyestrain by placing
your computer screen around 20 to 26
inches away from your eyes and a little
below eye level. This will reduce
eyestrain as well as help avoid neck,
shoulder, and back pain.
3. Adjust Your
Computer Screen
Settings
Page 27 of 42

You should adjust the brightness of your
computer screen so that it matches the
ambient lighting of your workspace. To
do this, load a web page that is all or
mostly white. If the screen seems dull, the
brightness might be too low. If it looks
like a light source, the brightness is set
too high. If you do not want to manually
adjust your screen, there are
applications that will automatically
adjust its brightness throughout the day
based on the ambient lighting.
Text size and contrast are two more
issues to consider when making screen
adjustments. Both options can be
adjusted within your computer’s display
settings. On Windows devices, the display
settings are in Control Panel, while on
Apple devices, they are in System
Preferences.
4. Exercise Your Eyes
Constantly focusing on your screen can
tire out your eyes. This fatigue can cause
your eyes’ focusing ability to diminish
after using a computer for an extended
period of time.
Exercising your eyes is a good way to
avoid eye fatigue. One exercise to follow
is called the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20
minutes, you should look at an object 20
feet away for 20 seconds.
Another eye exercise is to look at a
distant object for 10 to 15 seconds and
then look at a close object for the same
amount of time. Repeating this process 10
times can help reduce eye fatigue.
Remembering to exercise your eyes
throughout the day can be difficult.
Fortunately, there are a few applications
you can use to schedule reminders.
5. Blink More Often
When you work on a computer, you blink
significantly less than you normally
would. By consciously blinking more
often, you can help keep your eyes from
drying out and becoming irritated.
Using eye drops can also keep your eyes
moist.
6. Take Frequent
Breaks
Taking more mini-breaks during the
day can reduce the risk of eye problems
as well as neck, shoulder, and back pain,
according to a study by the U.S.
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health. In the study,
workers had four 5-minute breaks
throughout the day in addition to their
normal breaks. The added breaks
minimized the workers’ eyestrain and
discomfort, without impairing their
productivity.

IS YOUR
COMPUTER
CAUSING BACK
PROBLEMS?
Back pain is the most common work-related disability, and experts reveal that office
computers have much to do with this. Here’s how your computer usage correlated to
back problems and what you can do to prevent it.
Page 29 of 42

CAUSES OF BACK PAIN
Computer-related back pain is normally caused by three problems: uncomfortable chairs,
poor posture, and inactivity.
UNCOMFORTABLE
CHAIRS
Office chairs that don’t support your
body properly and have poor body
alignment can create pressure on
various areas of your spine. They can
contribute to pain in your back, neck,
shoulders, and even arms.
POOR POSTURE
Your spines neutral position is upright,
shoulder back, and a slight curvature at
the spine. Leaning too far forward,
bending your head too low, or dangling
your feet to high can all case spine
issues.
INACTIVITY
Sitting in any position for more than
twenty minutes contributes to back
pain by reducing the flexibility of your
tendons and ligaments. It's estimated
that 40 percent of people with back pain
have spent long hours at their computer
each day
Page 30 of 42

PREVENTION METHODS
To avoid computer-related back issues, you should:
• Use an adjustable computer desk
• Have the computer monitor at eye level
• Have your keyboard at a height that allows your elbows to rest at
your sides. Forearms should be level with the keyboard and
parallel with the floor
• Adjust your chair so your feet are flat against the floor
• Use an ergonomic chair designed to hold your spine’s natural
curve
• Use an ergonomic keyboard that supports a natural hand-wrist
position
• Take short breaks
• Do stretching exercises at your desk
Page 31 of 42

• Stand as much as possible.

7 WAYS TO HELP
PREVENT
CARPAL TUNNEL
SYNDROME
When most people think about carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), they associate it with years of
heavy typing, computer use, and other office related tasks. But the truth is it can affect any
person who performs repetitive movements with their hands.
That’s evidenced by the roughly 500,000 people who undergo surgery every year to treat CTS.
It’s one of the most common hand operations.
There isn’t currently a proven way to prevent CTS, but there are things you can do to reduce the
amount of pressure you put on your hands and wrists. Below is information to help you
understand CTS and what you can do to reduce your chances of getting it.
Page 33 of 42

What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Your carpal tunnel is located on the palm side of your wrist. It’s made up of bones, ligaments,
and tendons. CTS happens when the median nerve that runs through your carpal tunnel gets
put under pressure or squeezed by swollen tendons in your wrist.
Arthritis and years of repetitive hand movements can cause the tendons to swell. When this
happens, you start to feel symptoms of CTS.
What Are the Symptoms
According to the American Academy of
Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), the most
common symptoms of CTS include:
• Numbness or tingling in the hand
• An electric shock-like feeling mostly
in the thumb, index, and long fingers
• Unusual sensations and pain that
travels up the arm toward the
shoulder
It’s common for symptoms to appear slowly
and at any time. Many people report they
feel it most on the thumb side of their hand.
When symptoms are recognized and
treated early, CTS can be helped without
surgery.
Who Is at Risk
There are a variety of factors that make some people more likely to get CTS than others, like:
Page 34 of 42

1. Heredity: A trait that causes the
carpal tunnel to be smaller can run
in families.
2. Sex: It’s more common in women
than men. They have narrower
wrists making it easier to put
pressure on the median nerve.
Hormone changes from pregnancy
can also increase women’s risk.
3. Age: People who are older
experience it more often, usually
from years of wear and tear.
What You Can Do To Help Prevent It
4. Health conditions: Illnesses
like hypothyroidism, rheumatoid
arthritis, and diabetes can also play
a role.
5. Hand usage: Those who work
with their hands often, like heavy
labourers, musicians, and office
workers, have increased risk. Past
hand injuries can be a cause too.
Here are some things you can try to prevent CTS from happening:
1. Maintain a healthy lifestyle.
1. Don’t smoke: It interferes
with blood flow and makes
CTS worse
2. Keep your weight down:
Obesity can slow down the
speed of nerve messages to
the hand and can contribute
to a lack of physical activity,
which can increase CTS risk
2. Avoid sleeping in positions that
cause your wrists to bend or curl.
3. Keep your hands warm to prevent
stiffness. If you work in a place that’s
cold, consider wearing fingerless

Mahendra Singh Dhoni (born
7 July 1981), is an Indian
international cricketer who
captained the Indian
national team in limitedovers
formats from 2007 to
2016 and in Test cricket from
2008 to 2014. He is the only
captain in the history of
Cricket to win all ICC
trophies. Under his
captaincy, India won the
2007 ICC World Twenty20,
the 2010 and 2016 Asia Cups,
the 2011 ICC Cricket World
Cup and the 2013 ICC
Champions Trophy. A righthanded
middle-order
batsman and wicket-keeper,
Dhoni is one of the highest
run scorers in One Day
Internationals (ODIs) with
more than 10,000 runs scored
and is considered an effective
"finisher" in limited-overs
formats. He is also regarded
by some as one of the best
wicket-keepers and captains
in modern limited-overs
international cricket.

He made his ODI debut in
December 2004 against
Bangladesh, and played his first
Test a year later against Sri

including the ICC ODI Player of
the Year award in 2008 and 2009
(the first player to win the award
twice), the Rajiv Gandhi Khel
Ratna award in 2007, the Padma
Shri, India's fourth highest
civilian honour, in 2009 and the
Padma Bhushan, India's third
highest civilian honour, in 2018.[7]

the ICC World Test XI in 2009,
2010 and 2013. He has also been
selected a record 8 times in ICC
World ODI XI teams, 5 times as
captain. The Indian Territorial
Army conferred the honorary
rank of Lieutenant Colonel[8] to
Dhoni on 1 November 2011. He is

the second Indian cricketer after
Kapil Dev to receive this honour.
Dhoni also holds numerous
captaincy records such as the
most wins by an Indian captain in
ODIs and T20Is, and most back-toback
wins by an Indian captain in
ODIs. He took over the ODI
captaincy from Rahul Dravid in
2007 and led the team to its firstever
bilateral ODI series wins in
Sri Lanka and New Zealand. In
June 2013, when India defeated
England in the final of the
Champions Trophy in England,
Dhoni became the first captain to
win all three ICC limited-overs
trophies (World Cup, Champions
Trophy and the World Twenty20).
After taking up the Test
captaincy in 2008, he led the team
to series wins in New Zealand and
the West Indies, and the Border-
Gavaskar Trophy in 2008, 2010
and 2013. In 2009, Dhoni also led
the Indian team to number one
position for the first time in the
ICC Test rankings.
In 2013, under his captaincy,
India became the first team in
more than 40 years to whitewash
Australia in a Test series. In the
Indian Premier League, he
captained the Chennai Super
Kings to victory at the 2010, 2011
and 2018 seasons, along with wins
in the 2010 and 2014 editions of
Champions League Twenty20. In
2011, Time magazine included
Dhoni in its annual Time 100 list
as one of the "Most Influential
People in the World."[9] Dhoni
holds the post of Vice-President of
India Cements Ltd., after
resigning from Air India. India
Cements is the owner of the IPL
team Chennai Super Kings, and
Dhoni has been its captain since
the first IPL season.[10][11] He
announced his retirement from
Tests on 30 December 2014.[12]
In 2012, SportsPro rated Dhoni as
the sixteenth most marketable
athlete in the world. Dhoni is the
co-owner of Indian Super League
team Chennaiyin FC. In June 2015,
Forbes ranked Dhoni at 23rd in
the list of highest paid athletes in
the world, estimating his earnings
at US$31 million.[15] In 2016, a
biopic M.S. Dhoni: The Untold
Story was made about his life and
cricketing career up to the Indian
team's win at the 2011 Cricket
World Cup.
