Mahendra Singh Dhoni needs no introduction. He has his own legacy which he created in his cricketing career. Mahendra Singh Dhoni enjoys a massive fan following all over the globe. Several fans in the past have breached security, sprinted to the pitch just to express their gratitude towards the man and on some instances even touched the cricketer’s feet. The latest here is Yashasvi Jaiswal.
And his latest fan interaction was with an opponent he was going to face later in the day. The 18-year-old Yashasvi Jaiswal.
On Tuesday, Chennai Super Kings played their second game against the Rajasthan Royals who were set to play their maiden match of the season.
18-year-old Jaiswal, who was handed out a debut for his side Rajasthan Royals. He became a familiar name after the heroic performance in the U-19 World Cup this year. He got the perfect opportunity to meet the legend in person after Dhoni won the toss and asked RR to bat first.
