Watch: Height Of Fandom As Man Enters Lucknow Ground To Touch Virat Kohli's Feet, Stops IPL 2023 Match
Virat Kohli has a wide fan following across the world. Thanks to his many feats for the Indian cricket team and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, he is often the center of attention. Wherever he goes, he is always followed, even if that means that he is playing a cricket match. The same thing happened during an IPL 2023 game between Lucknow Super Giants and RCB in Lucknow on Monday. In the second innings of the game, with LSG chasing a 127-run target, RCB put up a brave fight. During LSG's chase, a man entered the field and touched Virat Kohli's feet, and even hugged him. The former India captain duly obliged and did not show any frustration. The match had to be stopped mid ways due to the incident.

Talking about the game, Lucknow Super Giants dished out a fine bowling display to restrict Royal Challengers Bangalore to a below-par 126 for nine in an Indian Premier League match. Opting to bat, RCB never had momentum in their innings despite the opening duo of skipper Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli sharing a 62-run partnership.
The spin duo of Ravi Bishnoi (2/21) and veteran Amit Mishra (2/21) shone bright with the ball in the middle overs to keep a check on RCB's scoring rate.
LSG suffered a big blow in the last delivery of the second over when skipper KL Rahul pulled his right thigh muscle while chasing a ball towards the extra cover
