Notably, this is not the first time when a cricket fan invaded the ground this season.
Earlier, during a match between Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals, an Ajinkya Rahane fan did the same at the Sawai Mansingh stadium to meet him.
Before that, during a match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings, an MS Dhoni fan had breached security at Eden Gardens and ran up to the Chennai skipper and touched his feet.
In Saturday’s match, Virat Kohli found a massive support at Feroz Shah Kotla stadium despite donning the opposition jersey. Virat, who hails from Delhi, smashed 70 runs off 40 balls against the home team and helped his team in winning the game. The Kotla crowd was cheering for their hometown hero.
