India’s World Cup-winning captain, MS Dhoni, has applied for the ‘Captain Cool’ trademark. Here’s all you need to know. When you think about the phrase ‘Captain Cool’, your mind immediately ponders over MS Dhoni. Such has been the impact of the former India captain’s antics on the field that no one else comes close in terms of remaining calm and composed on the field. It looks like even MS Dhoni realises no one owns the term ‘Captain Cool’ like he does, and possibly, this is the reason why the World Cup-winning captain has filed a trademark application for the phrase.
According to news agency PTI, MS Dhoni’s application for ‘Captain Cool’ is currently “accepted and advertised.” According to the Trade Marks Registry portal, the application was published in the official trademark journal on June 16, 2025.
The trademark has been registered under the category of sports training, providing facilities for it, and sports coaching and services.
Dhoni is one of the most successful Indian captains, having led the team to the T20 World Cup win in 2007, the 50-over World Cup win in 2011 and the Champions Trophy in 2013. Under him, India even made the final of the 2014 T20 World Cup and the semi-final of the 2015 ODI World Cup.
According to PTI, the trademark application for the phrase ‘Captain Cool’ was also filed by another company, Prabha Skill Sports (OPC) Pvt Ltd. However, that application’s status is showing as ‘rectification filed’.
