Ahmedabad: A protestor invaded the crease while India was facing Australia in the final of the ICC ODI World Cup at Narendra Modi Stadium here on Sunday.

The match was interrupted after the person wearing a mask and a t-shirt saying 'Stop Bombing Palestine' approached Virat Kohli and tried to hug him.

The security rushed to the spot and removed the person. 

 Meanwhile, India lost three wickets as it struggled early against Australia in the World Cup final in front of 130,000 fans.

After Shubman Gill fell for just four, India captain Rohit Sharma, who had already scored 550 runs in the tournament before this match, made an aggressive 47 off 31 balls before he was brilliantly caught by Travis Head, running back from cover point, off spinner Glenn Maxwell.
