Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in Sri Lanka: Vaibhav Suryavanshi is in the news on Sri Lanka tour. However, the reason for being in the news is less because of his performance but more because of the fight on the field. On June 15, after losing the tri-series match against Sri Lanka A in the Super Over, Vaibhav Suryavanshi got into a fight with a Sri Lankan player, the video of which also went viral on social media. But, after that fight, the video of Vaibhav touching his feet also spread on social media equally quickly. The question is, whose feet did Vaibhav Suryavanshi touch in Sri Lanka?
The video that surfaced is from after the match, in which Vaibhav Suryavanshi can be seen touching the feet of Anura Tennekun and paying obeisance to him. Anura Tennekun was the first ODI captain of Sri Lanka, who commanded the team in the 1975 World Cup. In Dambulla he met 15 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi. During this meeting, Vaibhav not only touched the feet, he also got a great advice from Anura Tennekun. He told Vaibhav not to care about what people would say. Focus on your game.
