Gilchrist does not want to see a repeat of pitch invasion

The Australian said he does not want to see a repeat of the incident.

"You are always concerned when you get pitch invasions in any sport. Terrible things happen when someone runs like that towards the players and you just can never be sure at that stage what's going to happen," Gilchrist told reporters here.

In a breach of security, there was an invasion into the PCA ground here by a person who not only managed to get inside when the match was on, but also managed to throw some papers before being taken out.

Asked how the players reacted when the intruder ran freely for about a couple of minutes holding up the play, Gilchrist said, "We were concerned. It's a concern. I hope the ground security will ensure it doesn't happen again. It's a shame, it's one fool trying to run it for lot of people."

KKR's medium pacer Rajat Bhatia while reacting to the incident said, "It must be that guy's mind to come in and get the picture for the next days newspaper, I can only say that."

A PCA official said that they had taken the incident seriously and asked the police and their own security to be more vigilant.

A fan who was sitting on the terrace block said the intruder could have hurt any player the way he was going around unstoppable. More PTI SUN AT
