‘Proud to be first white person to play for India’: Lord’s pitch invader’s new photos go VIRAL

Amid all the heat, verbal fight, and tension during the 2nd Test between India and England at Lord’s, one thing that left fans and even the Men in Blue in splits was the pitch invader.

The man who had ‘Jarvo 69’ on his shirt was donning the Indian Test jersey and was seen walking out onto the field to join the team after lunch on Day 3. He was then quickly escorted by the security personnel off the field.

“Some random chap in whites had made his way into the middle with the Indian players, and he stood there as if he was about to take part in the Test match,” England great Michael Atherton laughed on Sky Sports.

Sharing a picture with India’s customized jersey, the fan, named, ‘Daniel Jarvis’ jokingly claimed to be the first white man to represent India in international cricket.
