Watch: India U-19 cricketer Arshin Kulkarni touches Jacques Kallis's feet for blessings ahead of U-19 World Cup

Two cricketers, who are generations apart, shared a heartwarming moment ahead of the ICC Under-19 World in South Africa, and the video that captured it has gone viral on social media.

India's young sensation Arshin Kulkarni didn't miss the chance when he met South African legend and former allrounder Jacques Kallis ahead of the tournament.

The video shows Kulkarni talking to Kallis and then touched his feet to take blessings, which visibly moved the Proteas legend. As a mementro from his meeting, the 18-year-old Kulkarni also took Kallis's autograph on his jersey.

Kallis is currently the assistant coach of Pretoria Capitals in the SA20 league.

The ICC under-19 ODI World Cup will be played from January 19 to February 11.

India are placed in Group A of the 16-team tournament alongside Bangladesh, Ireland and the United States.

India play their opening game against Bangladesh on January 20 at Bloemfontein.
