Virat Kohli completed the 52nd century of his career in the first ODI played between India and South Africa in Ranchi. At the same time, a sight was seen in the stadium which shocked everyone. An excited fan broke the security cordon and entered the field directly and started touching Kohli’s feet. Kohli remained calm and tried to lift him, but then the security personnel immediately reached the spot and took the fan out of the field. This incident quickly went viral on social media and once again questions were raised as to what action is taken against such security lapses and what kind of punishment are given to the fans?

Breach in stadium security: whose responsibility is it?

Cricket in India is not just a game but a festival. In such situations, fans often go to any extent to get closer to their heroes. However, entering the field like this is not only unsafe, but it is a direct violation of the security protocol of the international match. In such cases, the first responsibility falls on the stadium security and local police, who have to ensure that the spectators do not cross the boundary of the field.

What is the punishment?

There is no uniform strict rule set by BCCI or ICC for such cases, but action is always taken as per the circumstances.

police custody: Any fan who enters the field is immediately handed over to the police. Same thing happened in Ranchi also.

Fine: In many cases, people are let off with just a warning, but action can also be harsh. During the T20 World Cup in Australia in 2022, an Indian fan had to pay a fine of about Rs 6.5 lakh.

Ban: In some countries, a temporary or permanent ban is also imposed on such fans from coming to the stadium.

The stadium is also affected

The ICC takes such security breaches very seriously. If such an incident happens two-three times consecutively in a ground, then-

Ground gets demerit points.

In case of continuous default, the stadium can also be banned from hosting international matches for some time.

The first ODI played between India and South Africa in Ranchi gave many memorable moments. During this period, Virat Kohli was the most discussed. Even after playing a explosive inning of 135 runs, Virat Kohli’s energy did not diminish. While making fun of Yashasvi Jaiswal outside the field, he did something such that the video spread like wildfire on social media.

Kohli made fun of Yashasvi

After the match, a funny moment was captured on camera among the players of Team India standing on the boundary line. In the video, Virat Kohli notices the hairstyle of young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. Currently, Yashasvi has kept a middle parting hairstyle. Exactly the same as Salman Khan had kept in his superhit film Tere Naam.

As soon as Kohli saw Yashasvi, he suddenly started imitating the famous step of the song ‘Lagan Lagi’. The players standing nearby started laughing loudly and this video went viral on social media within a few minutes.

Kohli’s classical show in the match

Virat Kohli was completely out of syllabus in Ranchi ODI. He scored 135 runs in 120 balls and turned the ground into full entertainment. His innings, studded with 11 fours and 7 sixes, reminded me of vintage Kohli. This was the 52nd ODI century of Virat’s career. Because of his innings, India reached 349 runs, which ultimately laid the foundation of victory. Kohli was also chosen player of the match.

Kohli’s big statement after the match

Kohli also spoke clearly about his future plans in the post match presentation. He said, “Now I am playing only in ODI format. I want to play only one type of game at this time.” He told that after such a long career, now he wants to move forward only after looking at his body and mental preparation. His entire focus is on the next ODI World Cup 2027.
