“See, I had my phone with me till the end of the first innings. At the break, we though of having some food. We went down the stairs and moved towards the stall. I put out my phone for the UPI payment, which wasn’t happening that I realized later. Now, in that moment, I put my phone back in the pocket and brought the wallet out.

Virat Kohli slammed a fine knock 135 runs in the first innings while KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma’s blistering half-centuries fired the hosts to 349 in their 50 overs. South Africa shattered the nerves of the Proteas until losing the contest by 17 runs.

“Someone perhaps has seized it from my hands, or someone has probably taken it from my pocket. I searched for it here and there and went through a discussion with the stall owner. But nothing happened. No one knew anything. I talked to the security guard for help, but none of them co-operated. They said that they had also come from outside and had no idea of it, " the fan told in the video. 

“So, later we moved to the main building of the officials, who actually clearly denied to help and said that they wouldn’t be able to do anything regarding the CCTV camera and its videos. They asked us to come back after two days, "the person said after losing the phone.
