Veteran cricketer and Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni appreciates an enormous fan following everywhere on the globe and his fans ordinarily leave no stones unturned to get one look at the wicket-guardian batsman face to face. A few fans in the past have penetrated security, ran to the pitch just to offer their thanks towards the man, and on certain occurrences even contacted the cricketer's feet.
On Tuesday, Chennai Super Kings came out for their second experience of the IPL 2020 against the Rajasthan Royals who were set to play their lady match of the period.
18-year-old Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was given out an introduction for his side Rajasthan Royals after his heroics in the U-19 World Cup this year, got the ideal chance to meet the legend face to face after Dhoni won the throw and asked RR to bat first.
As Dhoni was seen welcoming his rivals, clench hand knocking them (pandemic impact), Jaiswal grinned and motioned MS with collapsed hands.
The photograph of Jaiswal's "fanboy" second right away became a web sensation on Twitter as fans called it a deferential motion towards 39-year-old Indian cricketer.
