On Saturday, during the second innings of the RR-RCB game in Jaipur, another Virat Kohli fan invaded the field.
This year’s Indian Premier League has become a popular hunting ground for pitch invaders. On Saturday, a fan donning Virat Kohli jersey broke into the field at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur to try and meet the former RCB captain. The fan jumped over the fence and ran onto the field during the run chase.
Play was stopped as security entered the field to catch the fan and remove him from the pitch. Meanwhile, Kohli watched from a distance, as the officials took the pitch invader away.

Meanwhile, Sanju Samson (69) got a half-century as RR won by six wickets.
Speaking post-match, RCB captain Faf du Plessis said, ” I think we found the wicket tricky in the first innings. I thought 190 was a good score, think we could have added 10-15 runs max. Their spinners bowled well (in the middle overs), good decision by them to bowl first. With the dew batting got easier. Virat was playing well at the back end, with someone like Green coming in, you want to maximise those last overs. We tried to squeeze as hard as we can, but it was tricky to hit against the spinners.”
“It was easier to hit the seamers. The pitch definitely got better, you could feel it, the ball was skidding along nicely. We were excellent in the first four overs. I think that 20 runs over (from Dagar) took the momentum away and shifted the pressure back on us,” added Faf
