Watch : Jitesh Sharma touches Harleen Deol's feet after IND vs SA 2nd T20I

After the India vs South Africa 2nd T20I match in New Chandigarh, Jitesh Sharma touched an Indian women's cricketer's feet. The act from Sharma is widely appreciated by the cricket fans across social media platforms.

Last night (December 11), India faced South Africa for the second T20I of the ongoing 5-match series. After claiming an empathic win in the first match, India was the favourite to win the second as well. Because of poor batting display, the home team suffered a defeat by a 51-run margin.

India chose to field first after winning the toss. Star Indian pacers Arshdeep Singh and Jaspreet Bumrah proved very expensive throughout the first innings. Both the pacers remained wicketless in the game and leaked a significant amount of runs.

Watch the moment when Jitesh Sharma touches Harleen Deol's feet

Experienced opener Quinton de Kock was in brilliant form, scoring 90 off 46 with five 4s and seven 6s. During the closing moment of the first innings, explosive knocks from Donovan Ferreira and David Miller secured a total of 213 runs on the scoreboard in exchange for only 4 wickets.

In reply, India could get only 162 runs against all of their ten scalps. South Africa won the match by 51 runs, which levels the series 1-1. Jitesh Sharma, in the match, scored 27 runs against 17 deliveries with a couple of boundaries and a couple of over-boundaries. Rather than his batting, it was his act after the match which caught cricket fans' attention. He touched Indian women's team cricketer Harleen Deol's feet. Deol was a part of the Women's World Cup-winning Indian women's cricket team and is known for attacking the bat as a top-order batter.
