MS Dhoni invited for Euro 2008

Ms Dhoni on Monday received an invite from one of the main sponsors of Euro 2008 to be a guest for one of the matches. In fact, it is more than just an invitation to watch a match. If everything falls into place, he will actually be giving away the Man of the Match award on June 15 for the Portugal-Switzerland game. Just imagine: if Cristiano Ronaldo happens to be the best player in that match, we will see Dhoni and Ronaldo on the same stage. The invitation, from Carlsberg, says: "I would like to inform you that it would be the first time in the history of the Euros that someone from India has been requested to grace the occasion. It will be a proud moment for India as the international press would be there to cover the event." Euro 2008, the world’s second biggest football tournament, is being played in Switzerland and Austria and will start on June 7. The Portugal-Switzerland match is in Basel on June 15. As far as Dhoni is concerned, there is only one catch though: he will be playing a tri-series in Bangladesh just around that time. If India go all the way, the Indian skipper won't be able to leave Dhaka before June 14, the day of the final.
