Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni bought Ranchi Franchise of Hockey Indian League [HIL] along with Sahara group. Dhoni hails from Jharkhand state and preferred to buy his home team Ranchi Rhinos. This is Dhoni's third interest in other sports, he already owns a racing team and football team.
Ranchi Rhinos were the champions of the inaugural Hockey League tournament but were scrapped following the differences between owners and Hockey India. Seems like slowly other sports in the country are gaining importance, a good sign for the country.
