The clash between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2025 turned out to be memorable not just for the cricketing action, but also for a heartwarming moment that has since gone viral. Rajasthan Royals’ 14-year-old batting sensation, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, not only impressed with the bat but also won hearts with a touching gesture towards the legendary MS Dhoni.
Rajasthan Royals defeated Chennai Super Kings by 8 wickets with 17 balls to spare at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, successfully chasing down a target of 188 runs. CSK had earlier posted a total of 187, with Rajasthan comfortably reaching the target thanks to a strong performance from their young star, Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The teenager smashed 57 runs off just 33 balls, including four sixes, marking yet another impactful performance in the tournament.
However, it was what happened after the match that captured the attention of fans and social media users alike.

The moment, captured on camera, quickly went viral across social media platforms, with fans praising the young cricketer for his humility and values.
The gesture not only showed Suryavanshi's admiration and reverence for Dhoni, one of India's most respected cricketing icons, but also highlighted the strong cultural values the youngster embodies — something fans rarely get to see on the modern cricket field. Netizens lauded Vaibhav's respectful act, flooding social media with messages of appreciation and support.
Many called the moment “the highlight of the match,” despite the exciting on-field action. With this win, Rajasthan Royals closed out their IPL 2025 campaign on a high note, but it was Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s performance and gesture that truly stole the show — combining cricketing brilliance with a display of deep-rooted respect.
