During a Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) match between U Mumba and Tamil Thalaivas, an unprecedented incident occurred in the history of the league involving a fan and star raider Arjun Deshwal. For the first time in PKL history, a spectator breached the playing area in the middle of the game to express his admiration for a player.
At a brief pause during the match, a young male fan managed to evade security and ran directly onto the kabaddi mat. In a display of deep respect and emotional admiration, the fan dropped to his knees and touched Arjun Deshwal’s feet.
