When the Indian team clinched a victory in the second Test against West Indies and wrapped up the two-Test series 2-0, Rohit Sharma in Bengaluru leading his Mumbai side in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
The Mumbai captain helped his side to record an easy and comfortable nine-wicket win over Bihar at the Just Cricket Academy Ground in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2018-19 quarterfinal.
Bihar were bowled out cheaply for 69 runs only and Mumbai finished off the game in 12.3 overs with Rohit scoring an unbeaten 33.
A hilarious incident took place at the venue which certainly left Rohit’s wife Ritika Sajdeh and fellow cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal jealous.
The incident unfolded just before the beginning of the 11th over. Mumbai were 19 runs away from victory and were yet to lose a wicket.
Suddenly a fan jumped over the deep-midwicket fence and ran onto the pitch. He went on to touch Rohit's feet, hugged him and kissed him as well. The invader then left the field dancing and jumping his way back amidst the crowd cheer.
Watch the incident here:
There was no security present at the venue and apparently, the fan watched the match till the end. KSCA official told ESPN Cricinfo that there were supposed to be five police officials at the venue, but all stood behind the fans and so the incident went unnoticed to them.
Taking a picture of the incident from a newspaper clipping, Rohit's wife shared it as an Instagram story and tagged Chahal saying, "You and I both have competitions."
Chahal replied, “Bhabhi yeah kya ho raha hai, yeah kya ho raha hai (Bhabhi, what is this happening?).”
Mumbai fast bowler Tushar Deshpande bagged his maiden five-wicket haul in List A cricket in the sixth appearance for Mumbai to bowl out Bihar for only 69 runs in 28.2 overs.
In his first spell in the morning, he bagged four wickets for just 16 runs and that reduced Bihar to 34 for four in 12 overs. In reply, Rohit and his opening partner Akhil Herwadker guided Mumbai to an easy win by 10 wickets.
