SRH vs LSG: 'Kohli' chants targeted at Gambhir, game stopped after item thrown at LSG camp

During the IPL 2023 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants, an unfortunate incident occurred when some fans started chanting Virat Kohli's name to provoke Gautam Gambhir, leading to a disruption in the match. The situation escalated when a few spectators threw nuts and bolts at the LSG dugout in Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, causing a temporary halt in the match. This incident has created a buzz as it highlights a significant security lapse, with fans bringing such objects inside the stadium.

As per reports, someone from the crowd also threw something at the LSG dugout and Gambhir, who was sitting inside the dugout. The incident took place toward the back end of SRH's innings when Heinrich Klaasen was batting in the middle. After the end of the first innings, Klaasen criticized the Hyderabad crowd for throwing stuff at the LSG dugout. "Disappointed of the crowd, to be honest, that's not what you want. That also broke the momentum, not great umpiring either," Klaasen said following his 29-ball 47-run knock.
