Hardik Pandya booed again; fan breaches security and hugs Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishen amid MI vs RR match at Wankhede

After Virat Kohli's fans, it was Rohit Sharma's fans did the same during the ongoing match between MI and RR.

A clip that has gone viral shows, a fan breaching security as he jumped the fence at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday to meet the cricketer. Rohit got scared when the fan entered the ground and sprinted towards him, but later hugged him. The fan also hugged wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan before being grabbed by security officials.

Rohit at that time was seen fielding the and was reluctant to hug the fan. But Rohit hugged him and so did Ishan Kishan shake hands with him.

The fan didn't try to escape when the security officials ran to grab him.

Virat's fan breaches security

Last week, during the match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, a fan entered the ground to meet Virat Kohli. A video on social media shows that the security officials beat him up after he was taken off the ground.

After MI lost to RR, Hardik was once again booed at the stadium. This is the third loss for MI in a row, and at all the three stadiums where Hardik has played a captain and went for a toss, he has been booed by the crowd.

The franchise is yet to officially address the fan backlash towards Hardik.

Hardik who was again booed by Rohit used his hands to use the 'calm down' gesture, and even though it did little to change the crowd's mind, it was futile.

Mumbai Indians are the only side to not have any points so far in IPL 2024 as they suffered a six-wicket loss to Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday.
