Click to play videoBangalore: The ongoing camp of the Indian cricket team in Bangalore was disrupted on Tuesaday when some fans watching the proceedings entered the ground and mobbed batting mastero Sachin Tendulkar, forcing the session to be shifted to an adjacent venue.
The incident occurred after a barbed wire fence on the compound of the Karnataka State Cricket Association (B) ground, on which a dozen people were leaning heavily, came down.
The fans crashed into the footpath with their back to the ground after it collapsed as it could not take the weight.
At least three persons received injuries, including one in the head resulting in profuse bleeding, but it was not life-threatening, police said.
The crash brought the training session, being guided by Coach Greg Chappell, to a stand-still.
A few fans standing on the sidelines watching the nets took advantage of the commotion, entered the ground and mobbed Tendulkar and appeared, from a distance, to have virtually forced him to pose for cameras along with them.
Scores of others who were watching the practice session, involving skipper Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Harbhajan Singh, Dinesh Mongia, Ramesh Powar and V R V Singh, from trees, quitely climbed down and took to their heels, fearing a crack-down on them.
As more people tried to get into the training area, in what seemed to be a security lapse, an angry Dravid shouted at the top of his voice, "Get out", and then he summoned security personnel to bring the situation under control.
The incident forced the shifting of the "rolling camp" to the adjacent M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
As Tendulkar walked back to National Cricket Academy in the same premises, he was seen being pestered by a man to pose for photograph, but this time the batsman had to "push" him back.
