As his name was announced, Dhoni marched past the dignitaries present at the Rashtrapati Bhavan before receiving the honour from President Ram Nath Kovind. After losing the fourth wicket of Kohli, Dhoni had something else in mind as he made a decision to come up the order ahead of Yuvraj Singh.
Indian cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni with Indian cueist Pankaj Advani have been awarded the Padma Bhushan on Monday.
Dressed in the perfectly-fitted official uniform of the Territorial Army for the ceremony, Dhoni, who holds the rank of Honorary Lieutenant Colonel, marched up to the President to receive the award.
People from different walks of life were awarded the Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award, during the ceremony. It is preceded by the Bharat Ratna and the Padma Vibhushan and followed by the Padma Shri. Dhoni brought the World Cup back to India after a drought of 28 years.

Club statement on Albion Head Coach - News - West Bromwich Albion
The 56-year-old former West Ham, Newcastle and Crystal Palace manager left The Hawthorns by 'mutual consent'. A 2-1 home defeat by Burnley on Saturday left bottom club Albion 10 points from safety with six games left.
In the upcoming Indian Premier League season, the 36-year-old will lead Chennai Super Kings, who have won two titles in 2010 and 2011.
Besides Dhoni and Advani, folk artist Sharda Sinha, contemporary Indian artist Laxman Pai and former Ambassador of Russian Federation to India, Alexander Kadakin (posthumously), were also presented with the Padma Bhushan, the country's third-highest civilian award after Bharat Ratna and Padma Vibhushan, by Kovind.
For those who may have forgotten, it was on this day in 2011, Mahendra Singh Dhoni guided India to a World Cup triumph with that historic six at the Wankhede Stadium.
Dhoni (91 not out off 79 balls) then promoted himself up the order ahead of the in-form Yuvraj Singh (21 not out) to play a captain's knock that remains etched in the memory of cricket fans. They took it to Twitter to express their delight and congratulated him for the glory.
