Kohli's Reaction As Security Grabs Pitch Invader Has Internet Talking

The IPL 2024 has seen several instances of pitch invasions in the first two weeks. From Rohit Sharma to Virat Kohli, top Indian cricketers have been the target of the security breach. While so far no untoward incident has happened when a fan has entered the field, one can't rule out the possibility of such a thing. During Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL 2024 match against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur, a fan entered the field and hugged Virat Kohli. 

However, what happened after that  has got the internet talking. As the security was whisking the man, Virat Kohli could be seen telling them: "Aaram se".

Not much time is left before the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) finalises the India squad for the T20 World Cup 2024. There remains a debate over a number of players in the team, including the talismanic Rohit Shrama. The wicket-keeper's spot is also wide open, with a number of players competing for the spot. Former India pacer Venkatesh Prasad, however, has a concrete idea about the batting unit he wishes to see in the Indian team.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Prasad advocated the inclusion of lesser-experienced stars like Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, and Suryakumar Yadav while also asserting the importance of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the team. It's only the wicket-keeper's spot that Prasad isn't clear about.

“Shivam Dube for his striking ability against spinners, Surya for being the best T20 international batter and Rinku Singh for his exceptional finishing ability. It will be great if India finds a way to have these 3 in the 11 in the T20 WC. With Virat and Rohit, this will leave a spot for just a keeper batsman. Interesting to see how it pans out,” he posted on social media.

It's interesting to see that Prasad didn't mention the names of Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul in the batting unit.

The three veterans of the game haven't quite managed to impress with the bat in the ongoing IPL 2024. Their poor form with the bat might be the reason behind Prasad's lack of trust in them.
