During the first ODI between India and South Africa in Ranchi, a young fan’s emotional moment turned chaotic when he ran onto the field to touch Virat Kohli’s feet. The incident unfolded just after Kohli reached his hundred, drawing immediate attention from security and resulting in the fan’s detention by local police.
