That day in March 99 at chepauk is still one of the happiest days in my life (and saddest too,along with the dark April 2)

It's sinking in now Bala. Some things aren't meant to be. Accept and move on...veRa enna seyya.

New Delhi: The chief of Indian Air Force PV Naik on Tuesday stated that he will seek special permission from the government so that India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar can experience a flight of Su-30MKI- the best fighter plane of IAF.



"Sachin 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," Naik told on Tuesday.


ACM Naik informed that as of now there are no plans of awarding any honorary post to the Indian captain like Tendulkar.


Dhoni who was accompanied by his wife Sakshi was there at the Air Force chief's residence for over an hour as he interacted with senior officers.



The meeting with ACM Naik was organised by former Indian team manager Wing Commander M Baladitya.



ACM Naik presented Dhoni with a plaque on behalf of the Indian Air Force.



The skipper and his wife were at ease as they interacted and answered various cricketing queries.



When the wives of the senior officers congratulated the couple, Sakshi said,"You all supported the team. Congratulate yourselves."



Someone asked about his bald look, the skipper smiled and said,"I thought World Cup is over so let's just get it off."



Dhoni was seen asking ACM Naik, a veteran fighter pilot about his flying experience. "I used to fly MiG-21, MiG-23 during my days."



He patiently answered all the cricketing queries although it was evident that he would now like a few days away from cricket.


"IPL will be very hectic," he admitted

Dhoni is a leader by example, says Kirsten

Heaping praises on India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the outgoing national team coach Gary Kirsten today said that the skipper not only leads by example and puts in maximum effort on the field but also feels it the most when the team loses.

"Dhoni is a leader by example. I have never seen a player give as much effort to every game. He leads by example. He is the 100 per cent man. I've never seen him lose his temper. He loves taking responsibility and when the team loses, no one feels it more than him," said Kirsten.

"He is a great leader. He is the captain for next few years, no doubt," he added. Kirsten, who took up the coaching job with the Indian cricket with no prior experience, said he looked at creating an environment where the team was happy and for that he relied heavily on batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar.

"There is man-management which is the most important. You have to give options to the cricketer to cross the ropes and perform his best. It's about understanding individuals, working with what they have got and how they can improve without changing their technique," said Kirsten.

"I wanted to create an environment where the team was happy and felt like team. Sachin for me was the leader in this way," he added. The South African also said it would be great if Tendulkar could continue to play till 2015 World Cup but admitted that he was getting old and must now become selective in his approach.

"In 2015, he would be 42...I think that would be great. He doesn't want to retire because he is enjoying the game. I am proud of him. But he is getting old and he would have to pick and choose his games," said Kirsten.
