Former India cricket captain MS Dhoni was conferred with the Padma Bhushan, the country's third-highest civilian award, on Monday, reports PTI.

As his name was announced, Dhoni marched past the dignitaries present at the Rashtrapati Bhavan before receiving the honour from President Ram Nath Kovind. A lot like his batting in his heydays, Dhoni looked pretty much at ease as he walked towards the dais wearing the army uniform.

The 37-year-old Dhoni is the second Indian cricketer after Kapil Dev to receive this honour.
