Watch: Fan Invades ground to touch Rishabh Pant’s feet; the video goes viral

Fans breaching the security and jumping onto the cricket ground in order to watch their favorite players from a close distance has become a common sight in India. This is seen happening often with big names such as MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma. On many occasions, fans have entered the cricket field in order to touch Dhoni’s feet and pay their respects to the most successful Indian Captain. The same has happened with Virat and Rohit quite a few times. However, this time around a fan invaded the ground to touch Rishabh Pant’s feet.

The stand-in Captain, Rishabh Pant, has managed to level the series against the Bavuma-led South African side even after losing the initial two games. Though Pant has not been at his level best with the bat, he has managed to bring India back into the series with his captaincy. Keeping faith in the same XI even after losing the first two games has been one of the highlights of Pant’s captaincy so far.
