Yes it did happen..!!

Seems unlikely, isn't it? It did happen!

This incident transpired at the Palam Ground in New Delhi back in November 2017 where a Ranji trophy game was being played between Uttar Pradesh and Delhi. Big-time players like Gautam Gambhir, Suresh Raina and Ishant Sharma were a part of the match.

On the 3rd day of the match, a man drove into the ground in his car and even took couple of rounds of the pitch before trying to leave the ground. It was found out that a gate of the stadium was directly connected to the main road and entry of cars was allowed after proper checking but the security was not in the designated position at that moment.

It provided the driver an uninterrupted entry inside the complex and instead moving towards the designated parking lot, he mistakenly took a detour. He was handed over to policemen after the incident. He cited that he entered into the ground unknowingly and after proper investigation by the Delhi police. he was left with a stern warning.
