A case was filed on Friday, 12 October, against a man belonging to the Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh for allegedly breaching security cordon at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium where the second Test match between India and West Indies is being played.

Police inspector P Venkateswarlu said a case of trespassing was slapped against 19-year-old Mohammad Khan, who breached security cordon to get up close with Virat Kohli.

It happened an hour into the morning session when he climbed the barricade and sprinted around 70 metres towards Kohli before engaging in a tight hug and then trying to take a selfie with the skipper.

The episode took place at the end of the 15th over when Ashwin was going to start his sixth over while Kohli was fielding at short mid-on.

Kohli was seen trying to avoid his hug as the security personnel came and whisked him away.
