The fourth match of the five-match Border Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is being played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. Australia won the toss and batted first and set a strong score for Team India. On the first day of the Melbourne Test, India's veteran batsman Virat Kohli's clash with Australia's debutant Sam Constance is in the news. However, meanwhile, a video of Kohli is also making a lot of headlines in which a fan reached Kohli on the field and also placed his hand on Virat's shoulder. It is believed that this is the same boy who had come to meet Virat on the field during the 2023 World Cup.
This incident happened during Australia's batting on the second day of the Melbourne Test. A fan suddenly entered the field and went straight to India's star batsman Virat Kohli. When Virat was fielding in the slips, this fan came near him who was earlier going to Rohit. After this the boy placed his hand on Virat's shoulder and was about to hug him but just then the security personnel arrived and caught him and took him out of the field.

The young man who entered the field was wearing a blue T-shirt. There was a flag of Ukraine on it. 'Free' was written on the T-shirt. The boy was seen supporting 'Free Ukraine' by entering the field. The video of this incident is now going viral on social media. This incident is also being considered as a big lapse in the security of Virat and other players.
It is noteworthy that during the World Cup held in India in the year 2023, a similar incident happened with Virat on the field. Then during an India match, a boy in similar attire approached Virat. He was wearing a Palestine mask. It is believed that this could be the same foreign fan.
