A dramatic moment unfolded during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 opener between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Saturday, as a fan breached security to meet star batter Virat Kohli.
The incident took place at Eden Gardens just moments after Kohli reached his half-century. The fan jumped over the guardrails and sprinted towards the 36-year-old, who was visibly surprised when the admirer grabbed his legs and fell to the ground.
