Virat Kohli is one of the most followed cricketers in the world and wherever he goes, fans follow him always. On Day 3 of the first Test against Bangladesh in Indore, a fan of Virat Kohli suddenly jumped the fence during a drinks break and ran on to the ground. The fan, who had “VK” and number 18 painted on his back, tried to touch the feet of the cricketers but soon the ground staff caught up with him. Virat Kohli then requested the security personnel to be patient with him.

Earlier former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar also raised concerns about the security of players after that incident.

“These incidents happen because security people are not watching the crowd but are watching the match. This has been the perennial problem in India. The security is not there to watch the match for free. They are there to stop such interruptions from happening,” Gavaskar had said.

“I say put the camera on the security and check whether they are watching the match or the crowd. This is a dangerous security issue which is what you are there for, to make sure no one goes into the ground. Anyone can cause damage to a player. It has happened in the past, why take a chance,” Gavaskar had added.

However, the focus has shifted on the second and final Test now which is a day-night clash, with India hosting their first-ever day-night Test at Eden Gardens in Kolkata from November 22.
