Alyssa Healy not just tackled Mumbai Indians' bowlers in UP Warriorz's sensational victory in the Women's Premier League on Wednesday night but also stopped a pitch invader.
A fan breached tight security at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru and ran on to the pitch during the game but the Australian captain took him down.
The incident happened after the penultimate ball of MI’s innings. Healy, who was in her wicketkeeping gear, tried to keep the intruder at bay all by herself.
