The third day of play in the second Test between England and India on Saturday witnessed a comical scene after a pitch invader claimed his place in the Virat Kohli’s side, leaving Mohammed Siraj in splits.
This was after the play had to be briefly stopped following an incident of pitch invasion by a man wearing an Indian team jersey with the ‘Jarvo’ name printed on his back. In a hilarious development, the invader was seen claiming to be a member of the Indian as he pointed towards the BCCI logo.
The development cracked India’s fast bowler Siraj, who burst into laughter. Several other Indian players too found the incident amusing.
English commentators too saw the funny side and laughed hysterically.
New bowler from the Nursery End: Jarvo 69 ????
