The footage depicts supporters engaging in a physical fight, though it remains unclear whether the clash was solely among RR fans or between RR and KKR fans. Security officials promptly intervened to diffuse the situation.
The incident occurred during Rajasthan Royals’ innings when they lost early wickets, with Dhruv Jurel and Shimron Hetmyer at the crease. Adding to the drama, a fan breached security and ran onto the pitch to meet local star Riyan Parag, even touching his feet before being escorted away.
