Mahendra Singh Dhoni has filed a trademark application for ‘Captain Cool’, a name that fans have lovingly used for years to describe his ice-cool style of leadership.

The former India captain wants exclusive rights to use ‘Captain Cool’ for sports training, coaching services and training centres.

According to the Trade Marks Registry portal, the application has now been accepted and advertised. The trademark was published in the official trademark journal on June 16.

Dhoni, who is set to turn 44 on 7 July represented his country in all three formats of the game during a 15-year span, besides being an ODI World Cup winner in 2011, and is one of the most iconic superstars of the white-ball format for India.

He also led India to three ICC titles during his eventful career and is equally famed for his exploits in the yellow of Chennai Super Kings in the India Premier League (IPL).
