Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni will receive the ICC Test Championship mace from International Cricket Council CEO Haroon Lorgat at New Delhi on Sunday.

 

The ceremony would take place at a city hotel in the evening, the ICC said in a statement.

 

Dhoni will accept the mace on behalf of the BCCI for leading his side to the top of the ICC Test Championship.

 

India achieved the number-one position in the ICC Test Championship for the first time after winning its three-Test series against Sri Lanka 2-0 on December 6. India is only the third team, after Australia and South Africa, to surge to the top of the ladder since the Test Championship was first introduced in May 2001.
