Ahead of the encounter with Australia in the third ODI of the ongoing five-match series  Dhoni was invited by the Jharkhand State Cricket Association Stadium (JSCA) to inaugurate the pavilion named after him at the stadium. However,Dhoni politely declined the invitation, saying he was a part of the ground and inaugurating something at the stadium will make him feel like an outsider at his own home.

To honour his contribution to Indian cricket, JSCA has decided to name the south stand at the JSCA Stadium after him. A placard of his name has already been installed in the stadium and he was invited to inaugurate the stand, but Dhoni declined the invitation with a very humble response.

Jharkhand State Cricket Association secretary Debashis Chakraborty said, “During our last AGM on August 18, 2017, it was proposed that the South Pavilion will be named after MS Dhoni. So that people sitting in front of the dressing room can view MS Dhoni pavilion. The north stand will be named after Amitabh Chaudhary,” “Then we planned for it whether we will open it on 8th March. But when I asked MSD, he said: “Dada mein toh isika hissa hu. Ghar ka ladka apna hi ghar mein kya inaugurate karega? (I am a part of this ground. How can a person inaugurate something in his own home)” he further added. 

Chakraborty also revealed that Dhoni said he was thankful to the JSCA for the honour but refused to inaugurate the stand, saying that it would make him feel as if he is “not a part of this ground." “This left me in an awkard spot but this shows his graciousness,” Chakraborty added.
