The sixth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season was played on Monday (25 March) between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS). RCB won this match by 4 wickets. In the match, Punjab Kings set a target of 177 runs, in response to which RCB won the match by losing 6 wickets. Virat Kohli played the highest innings of 77 runs in 49 balls in this match. But in the meantime a big mistake was also seen. A strange incident of security lapse happened while Kohli was batting.
The fan entered the field and caught Kohli
A fan suddenly entered the field. He went straight to Kohli and fell at his feet. That fan touched Kohli's feet. The security guard also ran after him. A guard picked up the fan. But then that fan caught Kohli. Then later another security guard came and caught the spectator and took him out. This is a big mistake in the safety of IPL and players. This is not the first time that security lapses have come to light in IPL or international cricket.
Fans reached out to Kohli even in January
In January this year, during the second T20 match against Afghanistan, a fan had entered the field. Meanwhile, the fan hugged Kohli. Kohli was fielding at that time. In this series, Kohli is returning to T20 International after 14 months.
