Tendulkar, Dhoni to fly Sukhoi soon
New Delhi, June 30 The proposal for flying Tendulkar and Dhoni was submitted with the government by the IAF. They said the dates for the flights have not been finalised yet and would be done soon depending on the availability of the two cricketers. After India’s World Cup victory in April this year, IAF chief Air Chief Marshal PV Naik had said he would seek special permission from the government so that Dhoni and Tendulkar could experience a flight in Su-30MKI. “Tendulkar is already our Honorary Group Captain. Once both Sachin and Dhoni are free from their cricketing engagements, I will ensure that they get to fly Su-30MKI. They have done our country proud and it will be an honour for us,” he had said. At present, Dhoni is leading India in the three-match test series against West Indies in the Caribbean and Tendulkar is on a personal visit to England.
