A bizarre incident in the IPL! Fan throws paper ball at cheerleader during the match and ends up in police custody
An awkward and nearly criminal incident took place during today’s Indian Premier League clash between the Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings in Lucknow.
Details: An overly bold attempt to catch the attention of a cheerleader landed one spectator in immediate trouble with the law.
Right in the middle of the action, one of the fans in the stands came up with what he thought was a creative way to get the attention of a member of the cheer squad. He crumpled up a paper ball, scribbled his phone number inside, and hurled it directly at the dancing cheerleader.
However, nobody appreciated the so-called romantic gesture: the fan’s stunt instantly sparked outrage from both stadium security and the cheerleader herself. The offender was quickly identified by surveillance cameras. Instead of a date, the culprit now faces a hefty fine and a likely ban from attending future league matches for inappropriate conduct.
Reminder: Sanju Samson unexpectedly withdrew from the IPL 2026 playoffs.
