A fan invaded the ground to meet Rohit Sharma during the Ranji Trophy match at the Sharad Pawar BKC Cricket Academy in Mumbai. It has been a trend in recent years for several spectators to break security to meet their idols on the field.
The incident unfolded when Rohit was playing somewhere in the central region and a person ran towards him. When he reached the Indian captain, the security personnel immediately followed him and captured him.
He was soon taken away but Rohit remained calm and had a few words before the security escorted him away. He probably would have asked security to go easy on him because the fan’s intention was not to hurt him; All he wanted was to meet his favorite cricketer and he achieved it.
The game was stopped for a few moments before the process resumed, but the video of the entire incident has gone viral on the Internet. It also shows how popular Rohit has become among fans, especially while playing in his hometown where he has achieved great success over the years.
Rohit Sharma continues his terrible streak with the willow
Rohit Sharma returned to play in the Ranji Trophy for the first time since 2015, but his return did not go as expected. He posted a low score of 3 off 19 balls in the first innings before a familiar dismissal against the pacers followed.

Later in the second innings, Rohit got off to a smooth start at the beginning of the innings and hit as many as two boundaries and three sixes. Just before he could get going, Yudhvir Singh dismissed him with a score of 28 in the 14th over to break the initial partnership.
In total, he could only score 31 runs in the contest when he would have liked to score more. Ideally, he should have scored more and got some runs before the England series.
Mumbai also lost the contest when Jammu and Kashmir defeated them by 5 wickets. Mumbai had a star-studded lineup with several players with international experience, but in the end none of that mattered.
