After witnessing the legend, the fans couldn't keep calm. They started surrounding the 41-year-old. This is the reason his security team had a great challenge to escort him, possibly toward the stadium. The fans were taking photos and videos. After a while, he sat in the car and left the place. The video has gone viral on social media and has gotten 6500 likes and counting.

During the ongoing ODI series between England and India, a lot of former players have been watching the game. Recently, Indian Cricket Board president Sourav Ganguly was honoured by the British Parliament on the 20th anniversary of India's Natwest Series Final win at The Lords. Talking about the current series, the three-match series is levelled 1-1.

In the first ODI, Jasprit Bumrah's six-for and Mohammed Shami's three wickets help India restrict the Three Lions for 110 runs. In reply, Rohit Sharma scored an unbeaten 74 runs and help the team win the game by 10 wickets. In the second game, the hosts came back strongly. After scoring 246 runs, Reece Topley's six-wicket haul helped the team restrict the Men In Blue on 146. With this, the final game of the series on July 17 becomes very interesting.

Both teams will be looking forward to winning the game and clinching the series. If Rohit Sharma's men manage to do this, it will be their first ODI series win in England since 2014. The last series between the two teams in the European country ended with the home team winning by 2-1. Thus, it will be exciting to see which team ends up winning the third one-dayer.
