Suryavanshi's Ultimate Mark Of Respect For Dhoni After 'Battle Of Eras'

A heartwarming moment from the IPL 2025 match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) has gone viral. After the match, 14-year-old RR opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi touched MS Dhoni’s feet during the post-match handshakes — a gesture of deep respect for the legendary cricketer.

Dhoni responded with a warm smile and a pat on the youngster’s head, melting the hearts of fans across the world. The emotional moment reminded many of Yashasvi Jaiswal’s similar tribute to Dhoni during his early IPL days. Social media is abuzz, calling it one of the most touching moments in IPL history.

Suryavanshi, who has already impressed with a stellar debut season — including a century and a 57-run knock against CSK — continues to win fans both with his cricket and character.
