Dhoni felicitated for World Cup win

Mahendra Singh Dhoni was on Sunday felicitated in his home state Ranchi for the tremendous feat of leading India to World Cup win after 28 years.
"Though I wished to come to Ranchi after winning the cup, the IPL fixture didn't allow me. But now, I am happy to be back in my home town," Dhoni said after being felicitated by Jharkhand deputy Chief Minister Sudesh Kumar Mahto late on Saturday night.

Dhoni will visit the Mahashakti temple at nearby Deori for offering prayers to his deity on Sunday and will then leave for Mumbai to shoot a commercial.

"After winning the World Cup and wishing a successful stint of the Indian team in the West Indies tour, the captain will visit Deori and then leave for Mumbai," confirmed a family member of 'Mahi'.

Dhoni was accompanied by wife Sakshi Singh Rawat at the felicitation.

Memento and shawl were presented to 'captain cool' in the low-key affair with some ministers and politicians also in attendance.
