Another day, another pitch invader turned out to have a closer glimpse of former India captain and RCB stalwart Virat Kohli. After a pitch invader was picked up by Kolkata police at the Eden Gardens during the Eliminator between RCB and LSG, another one turned out at the Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad during the Eliminator 2 between RCB and RR on Friday

The pitch invader was seen running towards the former RCB captain after the first ball was bowled. He ran in from the off-side off the right-hander and offered him a hand shake. But as Kohli did not oblige to his demand, the pitch invader was seen touching him, before he ran away from the ground. He was later grabbed by the security guards near the 30-yard-circle who took him off the ground in a hurry. Watch the entire scenario unfold in the video below:
