But the fan, it seemed, could only touch the glove of Kohli who reluctantly put his hand forward to avoid the intrusion after the first ball of the match.

The 33-year-old former India captain is often the subject of adulation with one fan even touching his feet before taking a selfie during an IPL game in 2018.
Kohli, who has suffered three golden ducks in this season’s Twenty20 tournament, hit a six off Trent Boult’s opening over but fell caught behind to Prasidh Krishna in the next over. He made seven.
The large crowd at the 132,000 capacity stadium fell silent as Kohli, who is still searching for his maiden IPL title, walked back to the pavilion.
