The second match of the India-South Africa T20 series was played at the Chandigarh Stadium on Thursday, December 11. A special event took place just before the match, in which stands were inaugurated in the name of Harmanpreet Kaur and legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh. In addition, the PCA also specially honored the three players from the women’s team, including captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who became world champions.

Jitesh Sharma’s wonderful act won cricket fans’ hearts

After this ceremony was over, Jitesh Sharma came to the field for practice. But then, Harleen and Jitesh’s eyes met, and they went to meet each other. But while everyone might have expected Jitesh and Harleen to shake hands, the Indian wicketkeeper surprised everyone by touching Harleen’s feet. This surprised everyone because Jitesh is older than the Indian female cricketer. Jitesh is 32 years old, while Harleen is only 27. So, why Jitesh touched her feet is something only he and Harleen can explain.

However, it’s also possible that Jitesh did this simply to be funny. The video has gone viral, and everyone is asking the same question. But as far as the match is concerned, Jitesh couldn’t do much. Team India was chasing a target of 214 runs, and due to the failure of the top order, defeat seemed inevitable. There was hope that Jitesh would be able to do something special. He did score 27 runs in 17 balls, but it wasn’t enough to lead the team to victory.
