In a heartwarming gesture, Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Hardik Pandya was spotted in an airport, giving an autograph to a young fan. The incident was recorded on camera and later went viral on social media platforms. 

In the viral video attached with this article below, we can see a boy was waiting for Hardik Pandya's arrival. Pandya was heavily surrounded by security personnel, but that did not stop the boy from rushing towards his favorite cricketer. Hardik himself insisted the boy come. As per the protocols, any common person is strictly prohibited from reaching a close zone of a star cricketer. 

As soon as the boy tried to reach the MI captain, security personnel reacted and pushed him away, then Hardik requested them to let his fan in. In the end, the boy got what he wanted: an autograph from Hardik Pandya.
