A pro-Palestine supporter found his way onto the pitch at the Cricket World Cup final and approached Virat Kohli before being removed by security.<\/p>\n
Australia’s clash with India was disrupted after a man wearing a ‘FREE PALESTINE’ t-shirt entered the field of play in Ahmedabad, where 130,000 fans were in attendance for the big game.<\/p>\n
The pitch invader also wore a green, red, white and black facemask and made his way towards Kohli.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was apprehended by security, removed from the field and play resumed.<\/p>\n
Protests against the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas have been widespread since Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A pitch invader entered the field of play during the Cricket World Cup final on Sunday<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The intruder wore a ‘free Palestine’ t-shirt and approached India superstar Virat Kohli<\/p>\n

He was apprehended by security before being removed from the field of play<\/p>\n
Around 1,200 people were killed while\u00a0more than 200 soldiers and civilians, including children and women, were taken to Gaza as hostages.<\/p>\n
In response, over 11,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by the Israeli\u00a0military, according to the health ministry in Gaza – which is run by Hamas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There have been calls for an immediate ceasefire, with approximately 300,000 people converging on London in a rally for Gaza earlier this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is not the first time a pitch invader has disrupted Australia vs India at this tournament. Last month, infamous British prankster Jarvo 69 – real name Daniel Jarvis – entered the field of play wearing an India kit. He also approached Kohli.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jarvis’s antics caused the ECB to launch a security review in 2021 when he disrupted\u00a0three consecutive Test matches between England and India.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The BBC also carried out an investigation this year after Jarvis\u00a0managed to get into Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Molineux stadium and tape a mobile to furniture on set.<\/span><\/p>\n Jarvis then called the phone from his home, with its ringtone – noises from a porn clip – sounding as Gary Lineker introduced the live FA Cup match between Wolves and Liverpool to an audience of millions.<\/p>\n The embarrassing moaning noises began shortly after the Match of the Day’s coverage started on BBC1, leaving the pundits visibly confused and viewers incredulous, especially those watching with children.<\/p>\n Lineker said afterwards that it was a ‘good prank’ and quite amusing, and that the BBC should not have to apologise. But the fact Jarvis was able to get on to a set and plant a phone raises major security questions over the corporation’s outside broadcasts.<\/p>\n Jarvis, from Gravesend, Kent, has been arrested on multiple occasions for his pitch invasions.<\/p>\n
