After a video of India captain Rohit Sharma making a sweet gesture to a young fan who had invaded the field went viral on social media, Sharma won over many hearts. In the second ODI, played in Raipur, the Men in Blue defeated New Zealand handily by 8 wickets to win the series.
A strange incident occurred when a young fan entered the ground to hug Rohit during the Indian team’s innings as they chased 108 runs. However, the security personnel on duty in Raipur’s stadium were quick to spot the fan charging the captain and rushed onto the field to stop him.
Rohit was seen restraining the guards who nearly knocked the fan over during the game in a video that went viral on social media. The skipper eventually asked them to be a little more patient with the boy before being led into the stands by security.
India relish back-to-back wins in ODIs
The Men in Blue are currently enjoying success after winning two straight 50-over series; they recently defeated Sri Lanka and currently lead their series against the BlackCaps. India quickly seized an unbeatable lead in the series thanks to a spectacular bowling effort by their bowling unit, which made it simpler for the batters to chase the score.
In addition, the victory over the Kiwis forced the latter out of the top spot in the Men’s ODI team rankings. With 113 rating points and 3166 total points, the BlackCaps currently hold the second-place post, while England overtook the former to take the first spot with 3,400 total points.
