Virat had the same World Cup 'accident' in Melbourne, this foreign fan is not leaving Kohli alone.
The fourth match of the five-match Border Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is being played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. Australia won the toss and batted first, putting up a strong score in front of Team India. On the first day of the Melbourne Test, India's legendary batsman Virat Kohli's clash with Australia's debutant Sam Constas is in the news. However, in the meantime, a video of Kohli is also making a lot of headlines in which a fan reached Kohli on the field and also put his hand on Virat's shoulder. It is believed that this is the same boy who had reached the field to meet Virat during the 2023 World Cup.
Foreign fans entered the field.
This incident happened during Australia's batting on the second day of the Melbourne Test. A fan suddenly entered the field and went straight to India's star batsman Virat Kohli. Virat was fielding in the slip when this fan, who was earlier going to Rohit, came to him. After this, the boy put his hand on Virat's shoulder and was about to hug him but just then the security personnel arrived caught him, and took him out of the field.

The young man who entered the field was wearing a blue T-shirt. The flag of Ukraine was printed on it. 'Free' was written on the top of the T-shirt. The boy was seen supporting 'Free Ukraine' by entering the field. The video of this incident is now going viral on social media. This incident is also being considered a big lapse in the security of Virat and other players.
This also happened in World Cup 2023
It is worth noting that a similar incident happened with Virat on the field during the World Cup held in India in 2023. During one of India's matches, a boy approached Virat in a similar attire. He was wearing a Palestine mask. It is believed that this could be the same foreign fan.
