Rohit Sharma Fan in NY Breaches Security, Fights Police During T20 WC Warm-up Match Between Ind-Ban; Video Goes VIRAL | WATCH
New York: It was a good start for India as they made light work of Bangladesh on Saturday in their sole warm-up game ahead of the T20 World Cup. The Rohit Sharma-led side won the game by 60 runs. While the win will give the side a lot of confidence ahead of their tournament opener against Ireland on June 5, captain Rohit was in spotlight as his fandom in the West was evident. A fan breached security as he wanted to get near Rohit. The Indian captain was caught unawares, but things were almost under control as the cops took the fan down after some struggle. The moment seemed straight out of a Hollywood film.
Here is the viral clip:

For all those pitch invaders,
Seriously, this isn’t India where you can just wiggle out with a slap or some smooth talk. If security falls to the NYPD, you’re on thin ice, risking your future in the US. No Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya can try to play the hero there,…

With the bat, Rohit scored 23 off 19 balls. He was surely not at his free-flowing best. There also seemed to be a little bit of lathargy, probably because of the long IPL season gone by.
Opting to bat, India made 182 for 5 in their allotted 20 overs. Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant top-scored for India as he got himself retired out after making 53 runs off 32 balls, while Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav scored 40 not out and 31 respectively.
For Bangladesh, Mahedi Hasan, Shoriful Islam, Mahmudullah and Tanvir Islam got a wicket apiece. In reply, Bangladesh were never in the game, ending their innings at 122 for 8 in 20 overs with Arshdeep Singh (2/13) getting some deliveries to swing up-front. Pandya, after a good hand with the bat, also got a wicket. Shivam Dube got a chance to bowl and took a couple of wickets.
