The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) on Friday, April 7 felicitated former India captain, MS Dhoni, for his World Cup-winning six at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Notably, the Indian team lifted the coveted trophy after a huge gap of 28 years and attained glory after the skipper dispatched one into the stands in 2011 against Sri Lanka in the summit clash.
The association decided to honor MS Dhoni for helping the men in blue engrave their names in the history books. In a video shared by RevSportz, the World Cup-winning skipper was seen receiving the honor from MCA president Amol Kale.
