Dhoni becomes a Doctor

Team India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was awarded an honorary doctorate degree by De Montfort University of United Kingdom on Monday. The award ceremony took place after India won the Twenty20 practice match against Leicestershire. Speaking on the occasion, Dhoni said he got the prestigious award because the team played consistent cricket over the last couple of years. Under his captaincy the Indian team has achieved many feats including winning the 2007 International Cricket (ICC) Twenty20 World Cup, the 2007-08 Commonwealth Bank One-Day series in Australia and most recently the 2011 Cricket World Cup.
