New Delhi: In the past, we have come across lookalikes of Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma, but the reaction of Rishabh Malakar—who looks strikingly similar to Mahendra Singh Dhoni—is completely different. For the past few days, he has been trending on social media. Not only does he resemble Mahi, but after meeting him, he became emotional and expressed his unique feelings in a video.
Mahi, with his many qualities and impactful talent, has no parallel in Indian cricket. Meeting this cricket legend and ‘Captain Cool’ is enough to make any common person emotional and proud. But Rishabh Malakar’s story is truly special.
At 44, MS Dhoni remains the only captain in cricket history to have won the ODI World Cup, the T20 World Cup, and the Champions Trophy.
In a video, Dhoni’s young fan Rishabh Malakar said: “Soch raha hoon yeh waale haath ko lamination kara leta hoon. Ya kuch aisa ki photocopy rakh leta hoon iski. Mahi sirne haath milaya hai bhai iss se. Yeh waale haath se Mahi sir ke haath touch hue hain.”
(I’m thinking of getting this hand laminated… or keeping a photocopy of it somehow. Because Mahi sir shook this very hand of mine. With this hand, I touched Mahi sir’s hand.)
