Despite Virat Kohli getting out only for six runs on his Ranji Trophy return, fans have come storming to the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi to see the masterful batter in action. Nevertheless, another security breach took place as three fans came running on the pitch at the same time to meet Kohli as a video of the same surfaced on social media.
The video surfaced on X on February 2, 2025 (Saturday) showed a flock of security officials rushing on to the pitch to drag away those three people who had invaded the pitch to meet Kohli. On day one of the fixture between Delhi and the Railways, one fan ran onto the ground to touch the 36-year-old's feet as the security personnel dragged him away.
Below is the latest video of three fans coming onto the pitch:
"First time in life I saw so many people turning up for a Ranji Trophy game" - Himanshu Sangwan
Right-arm speedster Himanshu Sangwan, who rattled Kohli's stumps in the first innings, claimed that the right-hander's wicket is the most significant of his career. He also revealed that they didn't have any special plans for any batter and said, as quoted by India Today:
"It is the most important wicket of my life. It goes without saying. Virat Kohli is an inspiration to the whole country. First time in life I saw so many people turning up for a Ranji Trophy game. It was special for all of us. We did not plan for one particular batter. The majority of the Delhi batters like to attack so our plan was stick to channel bowling and draw the outside edge."
