You don't have the right to touch anyone. Then what's the use of Law?
You can keep him in Jail/ Fine but you're attacking him in the stadium 🏟️ itself

According to Indiatoday, In terms of the game, Kohli has achieved a unique record in the game. The opener completed his 100th T20 fifty-over, becoming the first and only Indian player to achieve the feat. In this match, the 35-year-old was back to his best after a disappointing performance against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). He scored 77 runs in 49 balls with 11 fours and two sixes.
More details
He has more than 157 points. Virat scored 12,092 runs in 378 matches with 8 centuries and 92 fifties at an average of 41.26. His best score is 122*. Virat is India’s leading T20 rusher and sits sixth overall. Those above Virat in terms of most fifties: West Indies’ batting great Chris Gayle (110 fifties, including 22 centuries) and Australia’s great David Warner (109 fifties, including eight centuries).
Throughout the match, Kings XI Punjab (PBKS) saw their batsmen start but no one could turn them into anything good. Skipper Shikhar Dhawan (45 off 37 balls, including five fours and a six), Jitesh Sharma (27 off 20 balls, including a four and two sixes) and Sam Curran (17 off 23 balls) batted well, but over the ball. On batting-friendly Chinnaswammy runs, PBKS could only muster 176/6 in 20 overs.
