Indian ODI skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni who was conferred with honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Territorial Army (TA) in November 2011 is all set to become a qualified paratrooper very soon.

Form the past few days, MS Dhoni has been training with the Para Jump School under 106 Parachute Regiment of the Territorial Army (TA). He completed the fourth jump successfully near the Malpura dropping zone in Uttar Pradesh. This means he is just one jump away from becoming a qualified paratrooper.

Reportedly, Dhoni jumped from a height of 1,250 feet and the AN-31 Aircraft landed successfully at around 6.30 am.

Since August 6th, Dhoni is undergoing the training at PTS. He even jumped from 10,000 feet once at night to become a qualified paratrooper.
