During the third day of the first Test of the ongoing Bangladesh’s tour of India at the Holkar Stadium in Indore, a lapse in security witnessed an invader crossing the boundary ropes to enter the ground and meet Indian captain Virat Kohli.
It all happened during one of the drinks break on what turned out to be the final day of the match. A video which has gone viral on social media platform Twitter sees the invader crossing the ropes and running all the way to the other side of the ground to meet Kohli.
With the Indian captain in a team huddle, he was surprised as the invader touched his feet from nowhere. It was at the same point that two security personnel were seen entering the ground. A generous Kohli was then seen gesturing to the security that they don’t treat the invader in a harsh manner.
