IPL 2025: Pitch invader disrupts KKR vs RCB game
A pitch invader disrupted the opening match of IPL 2025 between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Kolkata on Saturday.
The spectator ran onto the field and embraced Virat Kohli before falling at his feet. The incident occurred in the 13th over, shortly after Kohli reached his fifty, with RCB cruising towards an easy victory. Play was halted for a few minutes before security staff escorted the fan off the field.
A similar incident took place during the 2023 ODI World Cup final when an Australian national, wearing a white T-shirt in support of Palestine and red shorts, invaded the pitch and attempted to hug Kohli before being apprehended by security.
