The association decided to honour the now 41-year-old cricketer for helping the national team engrave their name in the history books. In a video shared by RevSportz, the World Cup winning skipper was seen receiving the honour from MCA president Amol Kale.

MS Dhoni gears up for battle against arch-rivals

Speaking about the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, MS Dhoni and Co. have begun preparations in full-swing to lock horns with five-time winners, Mumbai Indians. The visitors had a mixed start to their campaign as they endured a loss in their first match, followed by a win in the next game.

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma and Co. headed back to Mumbai after a disastrous outing against Royal Challengers Bangalore on April 2. However, the side is known to bounce back from their setbacks and have won titles on numerous occasions despite a shaky start.

The two heavyweights are set to square off at the iconic Wankhede Stadium and will aim for results in their favour. Speaking about their head-to-head records, Mumbai have been the superior side with 20 wins in their 34 outings while CSK has managed to win on 14 occasions.
