MS Dhoni did not cast his vote on the previous polling (in September 2019) because the 90-Test veteran was an honorary member at the time and did not possess any voting rights. Nearly nine months later, the state association finally managed to include MS Dhoni after the process was recently completed and the cricketers’ name came up amongst the life members of the JSCA.
