In the video that has surfaced on social media, we can see a fan dressed in an RCB jersey and standing in the walkway waiting for his idol. It is at that moment that we can see Josh Hazlewood arriving. He can be seen wearing white shorts and beige colored sleeveless tee. The moment he passes by the fan, we hear an exchange of ‘Hi’ between them. But when the fan extends his hand for a shake, the cricketer simply waves at him and moves away.

Sharing this moment on his Instagram page, the fan wrote, “One moment. One request. A handshake and an autograph. Hazelwood said no to both. Guess not every fan moment ends with a smile. I'm still an RCB fan... waiting to witness Hazelwood play for RCB.”


The comments section was flooded with reactions. One of the fans wrote, “Bro he is very humble but sometimes they have some tension or maybe some urgent works so don’t mind he is really very humble person.” Another wrote, “Corona problems dude, in their country.”
