Students, who usually saw him on television sets and aspired to be like him, would now get opportunity to study with him. "We are very proud. Somebody like Dhoni would come and study in our college. He is like an idol to us and we want to be like him. We feel very honoured," said Manoj, a student at St. Xavier's College. Besides, Dhoni is going to promote health and fitness by opening a world class gym in Ranchi that will serve as an ideal center for physical fitness for sportspersons in Jharkhand and Bihar.
