Dhoni stopped from flaunting Army insignia but Indian fan brings Balidan logo to ground

India's wicketkeeper and former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Sunday decided to obey ICC rules and removed the Army dagger insignia from his green keeping gloves during the World Cup game against Australia.

But what could have stopped Indian fans? Showing their support to Dhoni, a fan proudly flaunted the Balidan logo from the audience.

Salute to this guy!!I wish all indian fans in #IndvsPak match should carry Balidan insignia to support our beloved army soldiers.If u agree please support it as much as possible.Tweet on #CarryBalidanInsiginia #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/86CEqh2ZlC

However, BCCI has made it clear that they will strictly abide by rules of ICC. Let's hope ICC approves Balidan logo before the much-awaited match against Pakistan on next Sunday.

Worth noticing, ICC has earlier allowed Indian cricket team to flaunt Army caps in March during a match against Australia as Kohli's squad paid tributes to Pulwama victims.
