Narendra Modi stadium witnessed a major security breach on Sunday afternoon during the World Cup final match between India and Australia when a pitch intruder, wearing a 'Free Palestine' t-shirt entered the cricket ground and even hugged Virat Kohli.

The man was also wearing a Palestine-flag-designed mask.

The t-shirt also bore a picture of bombings with the caption "Stop bombing Palestine", reported Money Control.

He was swiftly apprehended by security officials.

He was reportedly taken to Chandkheda Police Station in Ahmedabad.

The incident paused the match briefly.

With several celebrities present in the stadium for the final match, the incident raised serious questions over the implementation of security protocols.
