Jarvo is back! Virat Kohli accompanies an English pitch invader who makes an appearance during a World Cup game
Look who has returned! Jarvo, aka Daniel Jarvis, the infamous English YouTuber and part-time pitch invader, made his debut appearance in a game played outside of the United Kingdom. Jarvo, who invaded the pitch three times during the England-India Test series in 2021, made an appearance at the India-Australia World Cup match in Chennai on Sunday, October 8. Despite tight security and cage-like iron bars across Indian premises, seeing images of him on the ground was unexpected. One of India's support staff members and Indian batting superstar Virat Kohli are seen walking him out of the pitch in the viral photo. So far, no video of him has surfaced. Jarvo was dressed in the Indian jersey with the number 69 on the back.
Arvo made his maiden appearance in the Lord's Test between England and India, posing as an India player in front of the authorities. In the second Test match, he batted at No. 4 for India in place of Virat Kohli, who stormed out after being led by security.
Jarvo returned to the Oval in the fourth Test, donning the India shirt, and bowled as a pacer while colliding into Jonny Bairstow before being hauled out again. As if that wasn't enough, he appeared in Real Madrid's Champions League match last year.
In terms of the match, Australia lost starter Mitchell Marsh after deciding to bat in Chennai. The Indian squad will want to limit Australia to a chaseable score because batting second may be difficult in Chennai due to the slow nature of the pitch, as evidenced by skipper Rohit Sharma's body language after the hosts lost the toss.
