THROWBACK: When MS Dhoni received Padma Bhushan award from President Ram Nath Kovind in 2018 - Watch

MS Dhoni remains a big name in world cricket. The former Indian captain had an amazing career at the highest level, ending with a total of 17,266 runs, 16 centuries, 829 dismissals, 359 sixes. He also signed off as the only skipper to win all three major ICC titles (to date). 

In early 2018, Dhoni -- who was an active cricketer back then -- received the Padma Bhushan award (India's third-highest civilian award). The wicketkeeper-batter also holds the rank of Honorary Lieutenant Colonel and, hence, wore his official uniform of the Territorial Army for the award ceremony. He was accompanied by his life partner Sakshi during the prestigious award ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan, New Delhi. Here's the video of Dhoni marching past the various dignitaries present during the function before receiving the top honour from President Ram Nath Kovind:
