He has also invaded the Narendra Modi Stadium pitch in Ahmedabad in 2023 during the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup final between India and Australia, where he charged at Virat Kohli. He managed to bypass security to get to the centre of the cricket field and hug Virat. His Instagram shows that he had pulled off the stunt on Virat twice. Sharing the video from 2023, he wrote, “Virat Kohli, thanks for letting me stay on the Field at the 2023 World Cup Final,” wherein he is seen running on the field to hug Virat during the World Cup finals. He later pulled off a similar stunt in December 2024.
