South African cricketers were mobbed by Indian spectators at the end of India A Twenty20 (T20) warm-up match on Tuesday. After Mandeep Singh hit the winning runs, the crowd at Palam ground, invaded the field to greet the South African cricketers. However, the security at the Air Force Sports Complex was able to content and whisk off the players safely off the ground. Not only that, spectators flocked the ground, if not in large number, enough to brief up the security around the boundary. When AB de Villiers was dismissed by Kuldeep Singh Yadav, the spectators went silent. Even JP Duminy and David Miller garnered some overflowing affection.
