The 36-year-old Ranchi-based batsman came to the ceremony in his Lieutenant Colonel uniform and walked like an army personnel to receive the honour. Dhoni was conferred with the honorary Lieutenant Colonel rank by the Indian Territorial Army on November 1, 2011, after India's World Cup glory.
On this day in 2011, then India captain struck Sri Lanka pacer Nuwan Kulasekara for a huge six over long-on to end India's long wait of 28 years to get their hands around the coveted World Cup trophy.
