Notably, in India's first World Cup 2023 match against Australia in Chennai, social media influencer Daniel Jarvis, also known as Jarvo, stormed onto the field. Jarvo, known for his repeated pitch invasions, had previously caused security concerns during an India Test match in England while wearing an Indian jersey.
Following his actions in the World Cup, the International Cricket Council (ICC) banned Jarvo from attending any further matches in the tournament. Security officials at the MA Chidambaram Stadium handed him over to the police, subsequently resulting in the cancellation of his visa.
Coming to the ongoing match, Rohit Sharma, after being put in to bat by Australia, started strong, scoring 47 runs off 31 balls, but was caught brilliantly by Travis Head off Glenn Maxwell's delivery in the 10th over. Shreyas Iyer's innings was short-lived, as he was dismissed by Cummins for just 4 runs. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul rebuilt the innings well before the former inside-edged a ball off Cummins onto the stumps leaving India 152-4 after 30 overs.
