Team India youngster Ishan Kishan won over the fans with his simplicity in Ranchi as he touched the feet of an elderly fan in a video shared by BCCI.
Team India defeated South Africa by 7 wickets in Ranchi to level the ODI series 1-1. While Shreyas Iyer led the way for India with his 111-ball century, local lad Ishan Kishan also played a crucial 93-run knock in his home town.
The youngster was at his destructive best, as the Men in Blue chased down the required total of 279 runs with 25 balls to spare, thanks to Iyer and Kishan's heroics.
After the match, the Ranchi crowd erupted in joy as he flocked towards Kishan, who greeted his hometown fans with much humility. In fact, the BCCI shared a video of Kishan touching the feet of an elderly fan, and he can also be seen clicking pictures with the family of the woman.
