An Indian fan just jumped off barricades and came on the ground to meet his idol but security officials foiled his plan and captured him.

The fan was seen roaming onto the field during the game and was captured by security officials before he could get to a cricketer. Security personnel spotted him and dragged him back to the stands. However, Indian Pacer Mohammed Shami spotted it and asked security guards to be gentle towards him. As soon the video of the incident went viral on social media, Netizens praised Shami for his efforts.
