Serial pitch invader 'Jarvo 69' breached heavy security and fencing to break on to the field at the ICC World Cup 2023 clash between India and Australia on Sunday, getting to within touching distance of players, including superstar Virat Kohli.


Jarvo aka British YouTube prankster Daniel Jarvis stunned the crowd of around 30,000 at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium when he appeared wearing a blue India team shirt with his name imprinted on the jersey. Kohli appeared to speak with Jarvis before security escorted him away.



Jarvis has been a notorious pitch invader, making it onto the field three times during England's home Test series against India in 2021. He was charged with aggravated trespass after colliding with England player Jonny Bairstow at the Oval.

"How has Jarvo managed to get a visa when not a single Pakistani journalist has one?" asked Wisden cricket journalist Ben Gardner on social media on Sunday. Notably, Pakistan media and fans have been frustrated in their attempts to get to India for the World Cup due to visa delays.
