ENG vs IND: Famous prankster Jarvo intrudes as India's no.4 batsman during Headingley Test

Famous prankster and Lord’s intruder Jarvo once again arrived, this time at Headingley during the ongoing third Test between England and India. A famous cricket fan, Daniel Jarvis aka Jarvo, intruded in Lord’s during the second Test and hilariously started giving instructions to the fielders to take positions.

Within moments, he was surrounded by security officials, however, he was seen gesturing that he is a part of the Indian team, as he pointed fingers at them and showed them the logo on his jersey. “Some random chap in whites had made his way into the middle with the Indian players, and he stood there as if he was about to take part in the Test match,” England’s Michael Atherton laughed on Sky Sports.

Yes, I am Jarvo that went on the pitch. I am proud to be the first white person to play for India!!!!!”, he later wrote on his official Twitter. He also revealed that Ravindra Jadeja jokingly enquired him “which end will he prefer to bowl from”, which had Mohammed Siraj in absolute splits before the stewards intervened, on behest of both umpires”.

Jarvo – The man behind many notorious acts

On the third day of the Headingley Test, donning the same India jersey, with ‘Jarvo 69’ imprinted on its back, he was spotted as he walked down to the pitch and took guard after India lost Rohit Sharma. He was soon escorted outside the ground after being spotted by the security officials.

Meanwhile, Headingley’s notoriety was only one of Jarvis’ many, who once broke in on the playing field and hilariously set up a camp in the middle of the ground before the officials got their eyes on him and took him off the field. Fittingly enough, the tent had “Trespass” written across it.

Currently working in Dubai, Jarvis recently told Indian Sports Fan that he is now a full-time professional prankster who is behind the wildly popular “Bad Grandpa” character and counts beating British pinup Tom Daley for the Olympic Diving Gold (a prank that earned him over a million views across social media and broke the internet) and pranking Collin Morikawa at the 72nd hole of The Open Championships amongst his exploits.
