The spectator grabbed world-famous cricketer Virat Kohli by his waist and hugged him tightly. Later, the spectator demanded people to speak on the Israel Vs Palestine issue.

News agency ANI confirmed the development today. The agency tweeted, “Security breach during the India versus Australia ICC World Cup 2023 Final match, in Ahmedabad after a spectator entered the field to meet Virat Kohli.”
By looking at the visuals, it was clear that the spectator was a supporter of Palestine. He was dressed up with flags and bandages.
Social media users are not at all happy with the development. Many social media users asked the ground security staff to be fired with immediate effect. This impacted the mood of the match drastically.
One X (formerly known as Twitter) user commented, “Whole India is anxiously waiting for India to play well and win the World Cup. However, such characterless spectators have no feelings for India. He must be booked for his act during such a high-profile match.”
“National Security Act should be imposed on the spectator,” said another X user.
One more X user added, “Security breach took place under the presence of BCCI chief Jay Shah. Scary!”

On the live telecast, Anushka Sharma’s reaction was not visible. However, some insiders who are watching the match live speculate that she was worried watching the scenario. Anushka, for the unfamiliar, is the wife of Virat Kohli.
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are the most followed Asian couple on Instagram with over 320 million followers. Clearly, any news development around them grabs headlines on the day.
