MS Dhoni enjoys a massive fan following across the globe. In every nook and corner of the nation, he is touted as an inspiration for budding players, who want to scale greater 🐠heights in their cricketing career.
In one such instance, Yashasvi Jaiswal was awestruck by getting perhaps the closest glimpse☂ of Dhoni so far.
Yashasvi, who was handed an IPL debut for Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their season-opener against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), on Monday, met Dhoni just after the toss and greeted him with a ‘Namaste’.
It was a delightful moment for the 18-yea🌄r-old as it appeared from his fleeting smile and a humble gesture.
Yashasv𓄧i𝔍 rose to fame after his exploits in the 2020 ICC U-19 World Cup where he finished as the leading run-getter of the tournament.
In October 🐲last year, he stunned the cricketing sphere by becoming the youngest ever cricket♓er to score a double century in List A cricket.
Royals procured Yashasvi for a hefty sum of INR 2.4 crore
In the IPL 2020 auction,🎐 the Royals, a franchise renowned for promoting young guns, paid INR 2.4 crore to acquire the services of Yashasvi.
The left-handed batsman failed to impress in his debut matꩵch as he🙈 got out for just six runs.
As far as the match is concerned, RR started their IPL 2020 on a winning note after registering a comprehensiv👍eꦕ 16-runs victory against CSK. Sanju Samson (74 off 32) was adjudged as ‘Player of the match’ for his imperious knock.
