Virat Kohli played a brilliant inning of 135 runs in the first ODI between India and South Africa played in Ranchi. When he completed his century, a fan sitting in the stadium jumped the boundary and entered the stadium. He ran to the crease and as soon as the fan fell at Kohli’s feet, Kohli also got scared. Actually he had no idea that someone was coming running towards him. Then the security personnel came and took the fan out of the stadium, during which the police were also seen. But where is that fan now? Know what punishment can be given for security breach in a cricket match.
It has happened many times before with Virat Kohli that his fan dodged the security cordon and reached him, although they do not intend to harm Kohli, but still it creates a serious threat from security point of view. Now the question comes that what punishment can be given for security breach in a cricket match?
What is the punishment?
ICC and BCCI do not have any clear rules in such cases, but most of the action is strict.
Heavy penalty: Many times the security team convinces the person who breached the security to leave, but the action can be harsh. For example, in the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia, an Indian fan was fined a huge fine of Rs 6.5 lakh.
Police and Jail: Security can hand over the person to the police. The police can also arrest the person. Like what happened with the fan in Ranchi.
Where is the fan who touched Kohli’s feet?
It was told in a report that the name of the fan who reached Kohli in Ranchi is Souvik. The police arrested him after entering the field. The report quoted his father as saying that Souvik had bought the ticket after saving money. Earlier he had gone to Chennai on bicycle to watch the IPL match. However, no such news has come to light yet that the fan has been released.
