However, the ordeal did not end there. What followed was a distressing turn of events as the ejected fan faced assault from others present, a scene captured by cameras and swiftly disseminated across social media platforms. The disturbing footage has sparked outrage and raised questions about the adequacy of security measures at cricketing venues.

This incident adds to a series of breaches in IPL history where fans have managed to infiltrate stadiums during matches, raising serious concerns about the security apparatus surrounding one of the world's most popular cricket leagues. Moreover, it highlights the vulnerability of players to such intrusions, especially stars like Virat Kohli, who seem to attract unwanted attention despite the rigorous security measures in place.

Despite the chaos, Kohli's resilience on the pitch shone through. His composed innings of 77 runs off 49 balls provided stability to the RCB innings, guiding them towards victory. Supported by Dinesh Karthik's explosive knock of 28 runs off 10 balls, RCB successfully chased down the target of 177 runs set by Punjab Kings, securing their first win of the season. This victory propels RCB to the fifth position in the points table, with one win and one loss from the two matches played, maintaining a net run rate of -0.180.
