While the IPL 2024 is all about glamour and showbiz, there’s a certain human side to it that most of us miss to recognize. However, the human side came to the fore on Sunday after Rajasthan Royals’ last home game against Kolkata Knight Riders was washed out due to incessant rain. RR skipper Sanju Samson and veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin took time out from their busy schedule to meet a specially abled fan that waited until the very end for the match to start.

Samson and Ashwin were seen meeting and greeting the child who looked visibly disappointed at the washout of the game. However he was cheered by the presence of the two senior RR cricketers who left no stones unturned to put a smile in the face of the child.
