A die-hard fan of Virat Kohli breached security to meet his idol, but his attempt proved unsuccessful and he was brutally manhandled by the security officials.
Fan sprints towards Virat Kohli and is dragged away by security
Security breaches have become quite common in Indian stadiums these days as several incidents have been reported in various states in recent times.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Cricket fans in India treat their favorite cricketers like gods and are willing to do anything to get a chance to meet and interact with them.
The obsession with the cricketers has led the fans to take extreme steps, breaching security during live matches and invading the field to meet the players. Usually the police take strict action against such fans, but that does not stop them from taking extreme measures.
In the first ODI, a fan entered the field to touch Kohli’s feet during his century celebrations. Meanwhile, a fan sprinted towards Virat Kohli during the second game but security quickly intervened. The officials on the ground literally abused the fans and threw him off the ground.

Back-to-back 100s for the king – Virender Sehwag
Kohli played a brilliant knock in the Raipur ODI, hitting his 53rd ton in ODIs and his 84th in all formats. He built a solid stand of 195 runs with Ruturaj Gaikwad to take India to a total of 358/5.
Former cricketers Virender Sehwag, Irfan Pathan and Sunil Gavaskar were extremely impressed with Kohli’s knock, and lavished praise on the right-handed batsman.
“Virat Kohli’s drunken 100 is different. We have lived for so many centuries, that is the routine society has given us. Back to back 100s for the king. 53rd ODI hundred. Virat is so possible. A brilliant century from Ruturaj Gaikwad that makes batting look very easy,” Sehwag wrote.
(Virat Kohli is addicted to scoring hundreds. While we are busy counting them, he treats it like an ordinary routine task. Hundreds in a row for the king. His 53rd ODI century. If it is Virat, it is possible. Also a brilliant century from Ruturaj Gaikwad, which makes batting look effortless.)
Irfan Pathan stated, “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 can find how many singles he has scored. Singles are the lifeline of batting in any format of the game. It gives the batsman the feeling that he is moving, not stagnant, 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. 53rd hundred. Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic,” said Sunil Gavaskar.
