A pitch invader breached security and ran onto the pitch during the ICC World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday.

 

The pitch invader, wearing a T-shirt that read 'Stop Bombing Palentine' and 'Free Palestine' and carrying a Palestinian flag, tried to hug Virat Kohli.

 

Security guards quickly came and whisked him off the field.

The man was identified as Wayne Johnson, an Australian of Chinese-Filipino origin.
