Mahendra Singh Dhoni may have taken a step back from captaincy on the cricket field, but it seems he's taken new steps towards becoming 'Captain of Industry'.
The 35-year-old cricketer, had added another feather to his already highly-decorated cap by being appointed as the CEO of Gulf Oil India. But hold on to your hats, Dhoni had the job only for a day.
Mahi, who will soon be seen in action in IPL 2017 with his franchise Rising Pune Supergiant, has been automobile lubricant giant's brand ambassador since 2011.
The company tweeted a picture of the former India skipper in the CEO's chair dressed in a blue suit and grey tie at Gulf Oil India's Mumbai head office.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
Say hello to our CEO of the day <a href="https://t.co/7ptUBqvaKl">pic.twitter.com/7ptUBqvaKl</a>
&mdash; Gulf Oil India (@GulfOilIndia) <a href="https://twitter.com/GulfOilIndia/status/848863779089666049">April 3, 2017</a></blockquote>

The move was kept a surprise and left even the employees of the company stunned. As the CEO, Dhoni attended all the special meetings of the company throughout the day to get a feel of corporate life.
Dhoni's commercial interests manager Arun Pandey revealed that the firm and star wicketkeeper-batsman had been planning the day for a long time.
