The fan also claimed that he had an interaction with the players, clicked photos with them, and there are doubts that he even hugged wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant. Accoridng to the bio-secure rule of Cricket Australia, players are allowed to eat out at restaurants but have to be seated outdoors. As per the video posted by the fan, the players can be seen sitting indoors that too without masks on their faces.

So far, it hasn’t been proved that the Indian cricketers found breaching the social distancing guidelines as no pictures of them being in close contact with the fan have come out.

The two players as well as the franchise were penalized for the incident.
