Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Monday received the ICC Shield for finishing as the No. 1 ODI team in the Championship table on the April 1, 2013 cut-off date.
In a simple ceremony at the Swalec Stadium in Cardiff, former ICC president David Morgan presented Dhoni a silver salver and a cheque for USD 175,000.
Cheered by a couple of players and members of the team management, Dhoni looked happy to receive the award from the former ICC boss.
India ( >119 points ) still retains the top spot going into the Champions Trophy starting on June 6. Australia (116) and South Africa (113) are No. 2 and No. 3, respectively.
In a brief message to the media, Dhoni said: “This one belongs to the team, not me alone,” before walking off into the dressing room.
