A few latest videos uploaded by a few fans have clarified that what seemed like touching the feet was not true
An incident recently broke the Internet as the Sri Lankan pace bowler Matheesha Pathirana was spotted touching the feet of the former Chennai Super Kings team captain, MS Dhoni, before commencing his bowling attack. The gesture came to light during the team’s match against Gujarat Titans at the M.Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on March 26.
However, latest videos uploaded by a few fans have clarified that what seemed like touching the feet was not true as Matheesha Pathirana was picking the bowling run up marker which was left on the field. The marker happened to be near MS Dhoni’s feet and from a far away angle it seemed like the young pacer was touching the experienced cricketer’s feet.
