Pitch invader intrudes into the stadium; MCG security under question

With a 'Free Ukraine' slogan on his T-shirt, the intruder first went for India captain Rohit Sharma, but he diverted his attention to Virat Kohli.

The security at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) came under question after a pitch invader broke into the stadium during play on the fourth day of the ongoing fourth Test between India and Australia. 

With a 'Free Ukraine' slogan on his T-shirt, the intruder first went for India captain Rohit Sharma, but he diverted his attention to Virat Kohli.

Dramatically, the invader wrapped his arm around Kohli's shoulders. The former India skipper, too, wrapped his arm around the fan before the security personnel came into play and escorted the intruder off the field. The play was halted for a brief moment.

Meanwhile, the former Australian captain raised questions on Rohit Sharma's commitment after the Indian captain’s miserable show with the bat continued on Friday on the second day. Rohit promoted himself up the order for the first time in this Test series, lasted only five balls before getting dismissed by Pat Cummins.
