IND vs AFG: A fan on Sunday breached security at the Holkar Stadium in Indore to reach superstar cricketer Virat Kohli and hug him during the India-Afghanistan T20 match. He was detained by the police later.

At that time, the star batsman was fielding on the ground. After detaining him, cops took the young man to Tukoganj police station. A police official said that the youth had a ticket for the match and entered the Holkar Stadium from Narendra Hirwani Gate.

He said that the young man seemed to be a big Kohli fan and entered the ground by climbing the fence of the spectators’ gallery with the desire to meet the player. The officer said that the youth was being interrogated.

Further steps will be taken in the case on the basis of interrogation, the official said. In Indore, India beat Afghanistan by six wickets.

India took an unassailable 2-0 lead after beating Afghanistan by six wickets in the second T20I in the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Sunday, January 14.

In a superb all-round performance from India, Axar Patel first registered figures of 2/17 in four overs to help India restrict Afghanistan to 172 on a very flat batting surface. Later, Yashasvi Jaiswal (68 off 34) and Shivam Dube (63* off 32) smashed fiery fifties to help India chase the target with 26 balls to spare.
