In a heartwarming gesture, star India batter Smriti Mandhana gifted a wheelchair-bound woman a cell phone after the crew’s match on the ongoing girls’s T20 Asia Cup match in Dambulla. Adeesha Herath, who got here to the stadium escorted by her mom in a wheelchair, skilled a pleasing shock as Mandhana got here to fulfill her and offered her a telephone. “Adeesha Herath’s love for cricket introduced her to the stadium, regardless of all of the challenges. The spotlight of her day? A shock encounter along with her favorite cricketer, Smriti Mandhana, who handed her a cell phone as a token of appreciation,” Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) stated in a tweet.

Within the video posted together with the tweet, Mandhana was heard asking the woman her title.
“You want cricket, that’s good. You loved at present’s match. I’ve introduced a present for you from all of us,” Mandhana informed the woman, earlier than having a high-five along with her and posing for {a photograph}.
The woman’s mom stated it was an sudden reward.
“We got here to look at the match unexpectedly, as my daughter needed to go for the match. We met Mandhana madam from Indian crew and my daughter acquired a telephone from her. It was sudden and my daughter is so fortunate to obtain this reward from her,” she stated.
India beat arch rivals Pakistan by seven wickets on Friday of their opening match. They’re up in opposition to United Arab Emirates on Sunday.
