This Is What Virender Sehwag Did After Meeting His 93-year Old Fan

The likes of Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly are treated as demigods in this cricket-obsessed nation. The reason behind the same is not they are some of the greatest batsmen in the history of the game. While their unprecedented achievement on the cricket field has helped them made large number of fans, their character helped them make that fan base even larger. Their humility, down to earth attitude despite being big stars made them the darlings of the nation.

Well, a recent incident once again shows why those players are so much adored in the country. Virender Sehwag recently made one of his die hard fans. And the fan was not the usual fan. He was 93-year old and Sehwag made sure that the old fan remembers the meeting for a long long time. He not only posed with the special fan but also gave him utmost respect by touching his feet.

Kings XI Punjab’s official Instagram handle posted few pictures of the meeting with the caption:

“It was a special moment for @virendersehwag as he met Mr. Om Prakash, one of his oldest fans at 93 years old.  Both had a big smile on their faces all along ?”

Meanwhile, Kings XI Punjab have made a fine start to the season. In the season-opener, they defeated Delhi Daredevils. In the following game, they had to face defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, they quickly returned to winning ways by beating Chennai Super Kings in a high-scoring thriller.
