MS Dhoni eꦰnjoys a massive fan following across the globe. In every nook and corner of the nation, he is touted as an inspiratio💙n for budding players, who want to scale greater heights in their cricketing career.
In one such instance, Yashasvi Jaiswal 💮was awestruck by getting𝔉 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 fo🅷r the 18-year🦂-old as it appeared from his fleeting smile and a humble gesture.
Yashasvi 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 sᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚtunned the cricketing sphere by becoming t🍸he youngest ever cricketer to score a double century in List A cricket.
Royals procured Yashasvi for a hefty sum of INR 2.4 crore
In thꦜe IPL 2020 auction, the Royals, a franchise renowned for promoting young guns, paid INR 2.4 crore to acquir🔴e the services of Yashasvi.
The left-ha🍒nded batsman failed to impress in his debut mꦰatch 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🃏 comprehensive 16-run♏s victory against CSK. Sanju Samson (74 off 32) was adjudged as ‘Player of the match’ for his imperious knock.

Don’t think I have ever been this excited for someone’s IPL debut as much as Yashasvi Jaiಌswal.
Hoping for him to have a great season 🙂
