Dhoni Asked Rohit To Let Khaleel Ahmed Hold Asia Cup Trophy. Twitter Loved Heart-Winning Gesture

Team India won the Asia Cup after defeating Bangladesh in the finals in a nail-biting contest. There is no denying the fact that everyone was expecting an India-Pakistan final but slowly and steadily, Bangladesh is also becoming a team to reckon with.

Indeed, Bangladeshis gave a tough fight but what people are still talking about is the gesture of former Indian captain MS Dhoni towards young players.

The captain of team India for the Asia Cup was Rohit Sharma as Virat Kohli was not playing in the tournament. After India won the finals and trophy was with the captain Rohit Sharma, the former skipper MS Dhoni walked up to him and asked him to let Khaleel Ahmed hold the trophy.

The level of respect that Dhoni commands in the team is very high and when he says something, it is followed. Khaleel was made to hold the trophy on the dias and this heart-winning gesture was praised by both public and media.

Khaleel was asked to hold the trophy as he was the youngest member of the team and this was his debut series and he would have definitely loved it.

Dhoni is known for guiding the youngsters and giving them tips which will be helpful for them in the future.

This is how Twitter praised Dhoni and Rohit Sharma for the sweet gesture:

Khaleel, whose ideal is former Indian pacer Zaheer Khan, played in two matches in Asia Cup and is pretty hopeful to play in the India-West Indies series for the country.

We wish all the best to the young cricketer!
