One of the fans broke through the security and jumped the barriers to meet Virat Kohli during his batting during the 2023 ODI World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
The renowned batter declined to welcome him, and the ensuing video quickly became popular on social media. In the interim, additional details surfaced in a newly released video.
Pitch invader Johnson Wen cleared the barricade by leaping extremely high, dodging under the officials, and leaping over advertising boards to get into the field. He ran right up to Virat Kohli, but authorities stopped him and took him to the neighborhood police station.

At the ODI World Cup 2023, Virat went on to complete his sixth half-century, demonstrating that the event had no effect on his level of concentration. But the player unfortunately left the game shortly after, and India appeared to be under a lot of pressure. India managed to score just 240 runs on the night of the finals against Australia, and Rahul, who needed a while to get used to the conditions, was out for 66 runs as well.
The bowlers again provided an excellent opening burst, as they immediately took the three crucial wickets of Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, and David Warner in the chase. Despite appearing to be in trouble, Australia managed to close the deal with a 192-run combination between Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne. In the end, they were able to win the match by six wickets and secure their sixth world championship in ODI history.
Players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Mohammed Siraj were devastated by the defeat at Narendra Modi Stadium, and numerous photos of them sobbing after the game went viral on social media.
