The streaker tried to hug India batter Virat Kohli having gone past tight security during a drinks break. The individual wore red shorts and a white T-shirt that had the message ‘Stop bombing Palestine’ on the front and ‘Free Palestine’ on the back. He wore a face mask in Palestine’s flag colours. The man also carried a rainbow flag.
