Jitendra Singh has filed his nomination from Hatia assembly constituency of Ranchi city as an independent candidate.
Singh had earlier laid the foundation stone for a temple in honour of Dhoni. The construction of the temple was halted after Dhoni's family objected.
Singh later announced that he would establish a museum in Dhoni's honour.
'Do not think I am trying to exploit Dhoni's popularity. I am a great fan of Dhoni but I am fighting the election as Jitendra Singh. It is a coincidence that my election symbol is a bat,' Singh said.
The poll for Hatia assembly seat will take place Nov 25.
The five-phased polls to the Jharkhand assembly will be held Nov 25-Dec 18 and the counting will take place Dec 23.
