A brief interaction between Indian women’s cricket team player Harleen Deol and Jitesh Sharma caught the people’s attention on Thursday, December 11. Jitesh and Deol met ahead of Men in Blue’s second T20I of the series against South Africa in Mullanpur, with the wicketkeeper-batter touching the feet of the World Cup-winning star.

A video on social media captured the moment as Deol saw Jitesh from a distance and funnily told him to touch her feet in respect and salutation. “Paer pado, paer pado (touch the feet)," she was seen telling Jitesh with a gesture to bow down to her feet, before the India and Royal Challengers Bengaluru player obliged.

The duo then had a brief chat and bid each other goodbye. Jitesh then continued his pre-match training routine. Watch the video here:
