IND vs BAN: Watch - Fan invades pitch to meet Rohit Sharma in a huge security breach during T20 WC warm-up game

The ongoing warm-up game between India and Bangladesh in New York was briefly interrupted due to a fan entering the ground. The game is taking place at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York.

The incident took place in the second half of the game when India were bowling. The fan invaded the pitch in order to meet India captain Rohit Sharma. The fan was quickly tackled down by the police officials and Rohit asked them to be lenient but his plea did not make any difference as the security officials escorted the fan out of the field.

The fan who breached the field and hugged Rohit Sharma was taken down by the USA police.
