The YouTuber arrived against England after Rohit Sharma was dismissed with the full batting kit on. He also made another appearance at the next Test in Trent Bridge. Coming back to Chennai, Jarvo tried entering the ground but officials soon escorted him away as Virat Kohli also intervened.
Check out the incident here:
Moments after escorting, Jarvo 69 was taken off in the early moments of the game, but the YouTuber apparently found his way back to the middle. Indian wicketkeeper KL Rahul had to step up and show Jarvo the exit gate.
Shubman Gill misses out against Australia
Indian batter Shubman Gill did not travel with the side to the stadium and missed the opener against Australia with an illness. The Indian opener tested positive for dengue since reaching Chennai and even missed the team’s net sessions. Gill was replaced by Ishan Kishan as the opener of Team India.
Speaking at the toss, Rohit Sharma said, "Unfortunately, he (Shubman Gill) didn't recover in time, we waited till today morning and he couldn't recover. Ishan comes in to replace him, he will open the batting."
