A fan breach security and touch Rohit Sharma's feet on Day 1 of the first Test between India and England in Hyderabad on Thursday, January 25, 2024.

Just before the start of India's innings, the fan, wearing a jersey with 'Virat' on the back, ran to the pitch and touched Rohit's feet. The cameras were panned on Rohit who just looked at the fan and said, 'Kya yaar?'

 

The man was then quickly intercepted by the security and taken away.

India finished Day 1 on 119 for 1 with Rohit back in the hut after making 24.
