New Delhi: Like many other games, the second Test match between India and Australia at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi also saw a fan interrupting the game to meet players. The fan dashed onto the field during the first session of the Test and the game was halted for a period of time. However, the security personnel arrived and caught him before he could reach any of the players.
Breaching the security, the fan tried to rush towards Indian players, especially Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. He was soon caught by the security personnel and he tried to free himself. Indian pacer Mohammed Shami requested the security guards to not be harsh on the fan and his gesture won many hearts.
Shami interrupted the guards who were trying to get the fan out of the playing area and also waved back at the fan. Cricket fans are praising the seam bowler on the internet.

In the game, Australia stands at 199/6 at Tea with Shami picking two wickets. The Indian pacer broke the 50-run opening stand between Usman Khawaja and David Warner. Australia brought Travis head back into the batting line-up, but he was soon dismissed by Shami as KL Rahul took a fine overhead catch in the slips.
Edged & taken! ☝️

After Ravichandran Ashwin dismissed both Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith in a single over, Khawaja and Peter Handscomb fought back in the second session. Khawaja eventually got out to Ravindra Jadeja on 81 as KL Rahul caught a stunner off a reverse sweep. Handscomb is standing his ground at 31* while captain Pat Cummins is taking the bazball approach with 23*(32).
