Virat Kohli is a huge figure in Bengaluru and it is evident that when he plays at M Chinnaswamy Stadium there is going to some incidents where fans try to come as close to their cricketing god as possible.
That is what happened on Sunday (March 13).
In a minor security breach, three fans entered the playing area towards the end of the second day of the second Test between India and Sri Lanka and one of them managed to click a selfie with Virat Kohli before being whisked away by the security personnel.
The incident happened in the sixth over of the Sri Lankan second innings when Kusal Mendis was taking treatment after being hit by a Mohammed Shami delivery.
Sensing an opportunity to see their star player from close, three fans managed to breach the fenced area and ran towards the players.
One of them managed to get close to Kohli, who was standing in slip area. The fan took his mobile out and asked the senior batter for a selfie and Kohli, much to his delight, obliged.
