<p><span data-teams="true">The vibrant nation of India has an extremely rich tradition of honouring its cricket stars not only for their immense contributions on the field but also off it. Notably, some cricket legends have tried to inspire the youth in various aspects. Hence, it is apt to say that they have made valuable contributions to society while also displaying true sportsmanship. Considering this, our armed forces too have taken note of their positive influence on Indian society, and as a result, they have bestowed some legends of Indian cricket with honorary ranks in the military.</span></p>
<p><span data-teams="true">Quite commendably, these legends have often promoted patriotism and the armed forces in various ways from time to time. Some prominent examples include the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, and the former world champion captain, Kapil Dev. While Tendulkar was conferred with the honorary rank of Group Captain by the Indian Air Force (IAF), Dhoni was awarded the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Territorial Army. When it comes to the legendary Indian all-rounder, Kapil Dev, he was also honoured with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Territorial Army.</span></p>

He is the only skipper to win T20 World Cup, 50-over <strong>World Cup</strong> and Champions Trophy. Also, he holds several records in batting and wicketkeeping as well. Interestingly, he also had a strong connection with government jobs in his life.</p>
<p>Before making an international debut, he used to work as a ticket collector at Kharagpur Railway Station. However, he left his job to focus on cricket. Soon, he was picked by the national selectors for Team India and the rest is history.</p>
<p>In 2011, Team India won the 50-over World Cup after a span of 28 long years under his captaincy on the back of his heroic knock against Sri Lanka in the final at Wankhede Stadium. Afterwards, he was conferred with the honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel by the Indian territorial army in the same year.</p>
