Indian cricket star Smriti Mandhana has warmed hearts beyond the cricket pitch with a heartwarming gesture. Following India’s dominant win over Pakistan in the Women’s Asia Cup match on July 19th, Mandhana met a young Sri Lankan fan, Adeesha Herath, who had come to cheer her team.
A video shared by Sri Lanka Cricket shows Mandhana interacting with Adeesha, asking her if she enjoyed the match. The left-handed batting maestro then surprised Adeesha with a brand new mobile phone! The overwhelmed young fan’s joy, and her mother’s disbelief at their lucky encounter, were captured on camera and have gone viral online.
This heartwarming act showcases Mandhana’s humility and her genuine connection with fans. Her gesture has not only made Adeesha’s day but has also garnered immense praise for the Indian cricketer on social media.
