A fan wearing a T-shirt that read ‘Stop bombing Palestine’ and seemingly supporting the LGBTQ+ community reportedly invaded the pitch towards the end of the 13th over. Virat Kohli, who was at the crease at that time, looked uncomfortable as the invader reached up to him. Security rushed in to contain the invader. Security officials detained the invader soon after the incident. The game resumed without any discrepancy. The invader was covering his face as he approached Virat Kohli.
