It is evident that the girl did not see it coming and her reaction said it all. She went for a hug, but Kinchit went down to his knees and proposed. The player asked, ‘will you marry me’ and the girl was in absolute shock to only say ‘I cannot believe this.’
Even the fans, who were near her seat, cheered the player on. The girl replied ‘of course’, and the player stood up giving his hand for the ring. There were loud cheers for the couple as they embraced one another after he put the ring on her finger.
