WATCH: Fan hugs Virat Kohli, touches his feet during 2nd T20I vs Afghanistan, detained later
The 2nd T20 IND vs AFG took an amusing turn after a fan rushed into the pitch to greet Virat Kohli, who was fielding near the boundary.
Star Indian cricketer Virat Kohli returned to T20I matches after a long break of 14 months. All eyes were on Kohli after he missed India’s first T20 game against Afghanistan due to personal reasons. The match took an amusing turn after a fan rushed into the pitch to greet Virat Kohli, who was fielding near the boundary.
A video of the incident has been going viral on social media. Therein, the man can be seen rushing towards Kohli in full pace. While Kohli extended his hand for a friendly shake, it seems that the fan had other wishes. He sprinted towards the player and touched his feet, before pulling him into a big bear hug.
Couple of seconds later, security officials rushed to the spot and forcibly pulled him out of the ground. Take a look at the video of the fan hugging Virat Kohli here:
