Fan sprints towards Virat Kohli and gets dragged away by security
Security breaches have become quite common these days in Indian stadiums as several incidents have been reported in different states in recent times.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Cricket fans in India treat their favorite cricketers like gods and are ready to do anything for a chance to meet and interact with them.
The obsession with cricketers has led to fans taking extreme measures, breaching security at live matches and invading the ground to meet the players. Most of the time, the police take strict action against these fans, but that doesn’t stop them from taking extreme measures.
During the first ODI, a fan entered the field to touch Kohli’s feet during his century celebration. Meanwhile, during the second match, a fan sprinted towards Virat Kohli, but security was quick to intervene. The officials on the field literally manhandled the fans and threw him off the ground.

Consecutive 100s for the king – Virender Sehwag
Kohli played a brilliant knock in the ODI in Raipur and slammed his 53rd ton in ODIs and 84th ton in all formats. He built a solid 195-run stand with Ruturaj Gaikwad and propelled India to a total of 358/5.
Former cricketers Virender Sehwag, Irfan Pathan and Sunil Gavaskar were highly impressed with Kohli’s knock and lavished rich praise on the right-handed batsman.
“Virat Kohli’s drunken 100 is different. We have been living for so many centuries, this is the routine society has given us. Back-to-back hundreds for the king. 53rd ODI hundred. Virat is so possible. A brilliant century from Ruturaj Gaikwad which also makes batting very easy,” wrote Sehwag.
(Virat Kohli is addicted to scoring hundreds. While we are busy counting them, he treats it as just a routine task. Back-to-back hundreds for the king. His 53rd ODI century. If it’s Virat, it’s possible. A brilliant century from Ruturaj Gaikwad too, making batting look effortless.)
Irfan Pathan said, “On Sundays the king plays for sure, but on weekdays he plays with your plans. Brilliant 100.”
“Who needs a Superman when you have Virat Kohli? In his career record, you will find out how many singles he has hit. Singles are the lifeblood of the batting in any format of the game. It gives the batter the feeling that he is in motion, that he is not stagnating, that he is not blocked by the bowlers. It is not just his runs, but he is always looking for the extra for his partner. You saw that in the partnership with Ruturaj Gaikwad. Fabulous 53rd hundred.
