The Indian cricketer Virat Kohli enjoys a huge fan following as he is one of the greatest cricketers of all times and he is also an inspiration for many aspiring cricketers.
Currently, India is playing a 3-match T20I series against Afghanistan and it has already won the first two T20Is of the series. During the second T20I, a youngster who seems to be a big Kohli fan invaded the cricket ground when India was fielding. He went towards Virat Kohli, touched his feet and hugged him before getting caught by the security personnel.
Here is the video of the incident which was posted by an X user with the caption, “Virat Kohli as an idol is a happy pill for so many fans”.

This incident took place during the 18th over and the fan jumped over the fence and ran towards the former Indian skipper. The match was halted for some time, the fan was taken to Tukoganj police station where he was interrogated by the police and an official stated that further steps will be taken depending on the case.
As far as the match is concerned, the second T20I was played at Holkar stadium, Indore and batting first, Afghanistan put up a total of 172 runs on the scoreboard. The Indian team chased the target successfully in less than 16 overs with six wickets in hand.
The final T20I will be played on 17 Jan at Bengaluru and Afghanistan will surely like to save some respect by winning that match.
