Dhoni sacrifices Goat in a Ranchi Temple

Indian ODI skipper M S Dhoni is in news again, but not for cricket.

Dhoni today visited a temple in Ranchi and sacrificed a

goat as part of temple rituals. He was seen performing all religious

functions along with the temple priest.

He did so in the presence of some political leaders and officials.
Although animal sacrifice is very common in Jharkhand,

the issue might snowball further, as Dhoni is associated with

national pride and millions of cricket fans look to him as an idol.

He has become a symbol of 'youth icon' in a very short period.

However, the latest development could put him in trouble.

The live footage of this ceremony is being telecasted by Star

News, Aaj Tak and INDIA TV again and again.
