Man in 'Free Palestine' Shirt Invades Pitch During Cricket World Cup
A pitch invader wearing a shirt that said "stop bombing Palestine" on one side and "free Palestine" on the other breached security during the India-Australia cricket World Cup final today, November 19th.
The spectator entered the field reportedly to meet Virat Kohli and even got close enough to put his arm around him. Kohli was batting with K.L. Rahul at that point, during the 14th over of the match.
The person was in a mask with the Palestine flag on it.
