The summit clash of the ODI World Cup 2023 has been full of ups and downs, as India take on Australia in the final game of the tournament at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, November 19. One of the highlights of the game was when a pitch invader ran onto the pitch during the first innings.

In the 14th over of the first innings, a pitch invader entered the ground wearing a t-shirt with the slogan’stop bombing Palestine” and attempted to hug Virat Kohli. However, he was quickly apprehended by the officials and has now been taken to the police station. 

In the video that has been making the rounds all over social media, the man stated that his name was John and he came all the way from Australia to meet Virat Kohli. Furthermore, he stated that he supported Palestine as well.
