Rohit Sharma led India to win the Asia Cup for a record 7th time

After the incident which took place with Team India's captain Virat Kohli, it was Rohit Sharma who faced such a situation during the Vijay Hazare Trophy quarterfinals between Mumbai and Bihar on Monday.

Fans invading pitches to meet their idols has become a common occurrence as there have been many such incidents when they breach security to meet their heroes on any sporting field.

A fan had uploaded a video on Twitter, where one can see that the fan runs on to the pitch and directly towards the crease where he touched Rohit's feet, but matters became ugly when he tried to kiss Rohit, despite him wearing a helmet. 

Take a look. 

Mumbai defeated Bihar to advance to the semifinals after they bundled out the opposition for a paltry total of 70. Rohit was unbeaten with his 33. Mumbai had won the match by nine wickets and will play Jharkhand in the semis. 

Coming to the Indian cricket team captain's incident, the fan invaded the pitch during Day 1 of the 2nd Test between India and West Indies in Hyderabad. The fan tried to take a selfie during play and deliberately tried to hug and kiss Kohli. 

A case was filed against a man belonging to Kadapa District of Andhra Pradesh for allegedly breaching security cordon at the Uppal Stadium where the 2nd Test match was being played.

A case of trespassing was slapped against 19-year-old Mohammad Khan, who breached security cordon to get up close with Kohli.
