This match was played in the new stadium built in Chandigarh, which was the first match in Men's International on this ground. Also, in this match, world champion Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur along with Harleen Deol and Amanjot Kaur were also honored by Punjab Cricket Association (PCA). But during this time something happened which surprised everyone. This happened when Indian wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma touched the feet of Harleen Deol, the video of which is now going viral.

Just before the match, a special program took place in the stadium, in which stands were inaugurated in the name of Harmanpreet Kaur and legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh. Along with this, the three players of the women's team including captain Harmanpreet, who became world champion from PCA, were also specially honoured.

Jitesh started touching Harleen's feet

When this program was completed, Jitesh Sharma came to the field for practice. But then Harleen and Jitesh's eyes met and both went to meet each other. But while everyone would have thought that Jitesh and Harleen would shake hands, to everyone's surprise the Indian wicketkeeper touched Harleen's feet. This surprised everyone because in terms of age, Jitesh is older than the Indian female cricketer. Jitesh is 32 years old, while Harleen is only 27 years old. In such a situation, only he and Harleen can tell why Jitesh touched his feet.

How was Jitesh's performance?

However, it is also possible that Jitesh may have done this only in a Zakiya style. Well, its video has gone viral and everyone is asking the same question. But as far as the match is concerned, Jitesh could not do anything special this time too. Team India was chasing the target of 214 runs and due to the failure of the top order, its defeat seemed certain. But there was hope that Jitesh would be able to do something great. He did score 27 runs in 17 balls but it was not enough for the team to win.
