Former India skipper MS Dhoni on Wednesday headed to Kolkata Police Training School for a session in pistol shooting after the team’s outdoor practice was cancelled due to rain, PTI reported.
“The great MS Dhoni takes some time off to practice his shooting skills at our state of the art shooting range this afternoon at Police Training School. His accuracy is breathtaking,” Kolkata Police posted on their Facebook page.
A top Kolkata police official said Dhoni not only shot in the range but also gave a pep talk to the Kolkata Police recruits.
“It’s great to host Dhoni for the second time. He’s an extraordinary marksman and inspired us all,” the top Kolkata Police official who accompanied Dhoni was quoted as saying.
“It’s a state of art shooting range at PTS and Dhoni shot both in the 10m and 25 ranges.”
Earlier in 2010, Dhoni, whose love for motorcycle is well-documented, had visited the city police headquarters Lalbazar looking for an old motorcycle.
India will take on Australia in the second ODI of the five-match series at the Edens Gardens tomorrow. India had defeated Australia by 26 runs in a rain-curtailed first ODI to take a 1-0 lead.
