Decimating international-level bowlers for sixes will come naturally to Vaibhav Suryavanshi, but inside, he is still a 14-year-old boy getting butterflies in his stomach as he watches the game legends. And who else if not MS Dhoni himself? Following what he does best smashing bowlers all around the field Vaibhav Suryavanshi allowed the fanboy within him to take control. On the occasion of the usual post-match handshake between the players of Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, Suryavanshi went down to touch Dhoni’s feet rather than shaking hands with him.
Suryavanshi’s Fan Moment with MS Dhoni
A little surprised by the move, Dhoni grasped the other hand of the young RR opener and patted him. But Suryavanshi had more in store. He proceeded to the CSK dressing room post-match. He again met Dhoni and this time, enjoyed a cursory conversation with the great cricketer. In a goodbye gesture, Vaibhav Suryavanshi again touched Dhoni’s feet.
Suryavanshi’s video of going inside the dressing room to touch Dhoni’s feet went viral on social media on Thursday, a couple of days after RR vs CSK match in Delhi.
