On Sunday, October 8, at Chepauk in Chennai, match five of the 2018 ODI World Cup pitted India and Australia against one another. Daniel Jarvo, who is notorious for bypassing security and infiltrating cricket fields, showed up during the first innings while India was fielding.
He spoke with Mohammed Siraj as he approached the field before KL Rahul could be seen jokingly conversing with him. He was dragged away from the action by security as they raced onto the field. Virat Kohli came in to speak with him as well. He appeared to have disappointed Rahul and Kohli with his actions. Later, Jarvo was disqualified from the remainder of the ODI World Cup 2023 matches by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

“Our top concern is ensuring the safety and security of everyone involved in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. In order to avoid it from happening again, we will work with the venue to investigate what happened and determine whether any extra security measures are necessary. The individual in question has been prohibited from attending any additional games at the competition, and the Indian authorities are handling the situation, according to an ICC statement.
Daniel Jarvo made his ODI World Cup debut in India by entering the cricket pitch for the fourth time.
Despite Jarvo’s claims to be an Indian team supporter, it is improper to access a cricket pitch or any other sporting venue without authorization. During a game involving the “Men in Blue,” Jarvo has invaded a cricket field without permission four times. India dismissed Australia for 199 and went on to defeat Australia by six wickets.
KL Rahul, who scored an unbeaten 97 off 115 balls to win Player of the Match, also produced a magnificent knock of 85 to save India from a catastrophic start. On Wednesday, October 11, in Delhi, Rohit Sharma’s team will face Afghanistan in their second match of the championship contest.
