In a heartwarming display of respect and sportsmanship, Sri Lankan pace bowler Matheesha Pathirana touched the feet of cricketing legend MS Dhoni before commencing his spell in the 7th match of IPL 2024 between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT).

Pathirana, known for his variations and unique slingy action, had missed the first match of the season due to injury but made an impactful return in this game. 

Coming into the attack in the 9th over of GT's innings, he showcased his prowess by claiming the crucial wicket of Sai Sudharsan, Gujarat's top-scorer.


However, what truly stole the spotlight was Matheesha Pathirana's gesture of reverence towards MS Dhoni. As Dhoni was setting the field, Pathirana respectfully bent down and touched the former Indian captain's feet. 

Dhoni, acknowledging the gesture, blessed him with a subtle signal, capturing the hearts of fans worldwide.
