NEW DELHI:
Virat Kohli
not only captivates the hearts of his fans with his performances, but the star batter's on-field demeanour also reflects his kindness as a human being.
Kohli's gentle side was witnessed during the second T20I against Afghanistan in Indore on Sunday when a
young fan
managed to breach security to touch his feet and embrace the former Indian skipper.
Security personnel promptly detained him at the boundary but Kohli intervened, urging them to show kindness towards the fan.
According to a police official, the young man, who appeared to be a devoted Kohli fan, possessed a valid ticket for the match and gained entry to the
Holkar Stadium
through the Narendra Hirwani Gate.
The official mentioned that the fan, fueled by a strong desire to meet the player, accessed the ground by scaling the fence of the spectators' gallery.
The officer said that the youth was being interrogated.

Kohli made a comeback to T20Is after a hiatus of 14 months having last played in the shortest format in the T20 World Cup 2022 semi-final. He played a 16-ball 29-run cameo.
