Kapil Dev, who led India to it's first ever World Cup title in 1983, did the honours by handing a citation and memento to country's most successful captain.


The presentation was held during the innings break, with the packed 67000-capacity Eden Garden crowd screaming Dhoni, Dhoni.


A footage was also displayed on the giant screen during the ceremony.



And when Dhoni came out to bat, he was given a grand reception by the crowd with banners saluting the former captain.



Dhoni stepped down as India's limited-overs captain early this month, allowing a smooth transition for Virat Kohli to assume the complete captaincy reigns across all three formats of the game.
