In a security breach, two protesters made their way into the field of play during the first ODI between India and Australia before being escorted out here on Friday.
One of the invaders, carrying a placard denouncing India's Adani Group's coal project in Australia, reached close to the pitch just before pacer Navdeep Saini was getting ready to bowl the sixth over of the home team's innings.
The two were escorted out by the security after their brief invasion.
