Virat Kohli hogged the limelight on Monday night after Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Lucknow Super Giants but the biggest talking point was the verbal altercation between Kohli and Gautam Gambhir and the 34-year-old also had a heated argument with Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq.
However, ahead of all the drama, there was another moment in the match which won the hearts of fans all over the internet. A fan jumped security and found a way to get onto the pitch to meet Virat.
After managing to make his way onto the ground to meet his idol, the fan touched Kohli’s feet and also got a hug in return for his endeavours. A video of the incident has gone crazy viral on social media, wherein the fan can be seen jumping with delight after getting the hug from Virat.
