Fan wearing 'Stop Bombing Palestine' t-shirt hugged Virat Kohli on the field | Watch Video

During the crucial ICC World Cup 2023 final between India and Australia at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium, the match encountered an unexpected interruption when a pitch invader managed to breach security protocols. The intrusion occurred in the 14th over, with the fan displaying a t-shirt conveying the message "Stop bombing Palestine" and carrying a Palestine flag.

Despite the brief halt in proceedings, the invader reached the field, embracing Indian captain Virat Kohli, who was actively involved in the ongoing match alongside KL Rahul. The incident added an element of surprise to the final, drawing attention not only for the security lapse but also for the invader's message related to global concerns.

In terms of the gameplay, Australia's decision to bowl first appeared to be justified as India faced early setbacks, losing the wickets of Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer. The interruption did not deter the momentum of the game, and both teams maintained their original lineups. The interruption, though brief, injected an unexpected element of drama into the highly anticipated World Cup final, captivating the attention of fans and spectators worldwide.
