An Instagram reel shared by Delhi Capitals has taken social media by storm, capturing a heartwarming moment ahead of IPL 2026.The video features Abhishek Porel during a warm-up match when an unexpected guest, an indie community dog, runs onto the pitch mid-practice.Instead of shooing it away, Porel pauses, gently calls the dog over, picks it up, and carries it off the field. The clip also shows the dog playfully interacting with him as he escorts it beyond the boundary.The wholesome act has struck a chord online, with fans praising the young cricketer’s compassion.“It is important to love and have affection for living beings,” one user wrote, while another said, “Dil jeet liya bhai.” A third comment even linked the moment to good fortune, saying, “That’s a sign the trophy is coming.”
