Virat Kohli’s fan following is amazing. Her fans want to participate in her every celebration. This is why whether Kohli is in good or bad form, his fans don’t seem to let him go. In such a situation, it is not new for fans to breach the security cordon and reach Kohli. We have also seen in the past that when fans approach Kohli like this, he very gently asks them to go back to the spectators’ gallery.
Today’s match between Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore saw a similar incident when a fan breached the security cordon and reached Kohli before the start of RCB’s innings. He first touched her feet and then hugged her. After this the security personnel took the fan back to the auditorium.

Kohli achieved the catch record
Earlier, Kohli had also achieved the title of the Indian who took the most catches in T20 cricket. He completed his 173 catches in the T20 format by taking the catch of Jonny Bairstow. During this period he surpassed Suresh Raina (172 catches). Rohit Sharma is third with 167 catches. Manish Pandey is fourth and fifth with 146 catches and Suryakumar Yadav with 136 catches. However, overall Kieron Pollard holds the first position in T20 cricket with 362 catches.
In this match against Punjab Kings, Kohli batted brilliantly and scored 77 runs in 49 balls. During this he hit 11 fours and 2 sixes. However, Kohli has Jonny Bairstow to thank for this, who caught him in the slips. Nor did Kohli even open an account.
