“Cricket has no limits!” This was proved right by the 31-year-old Bangladeshi man, who had come to India to watch the Indian Premier League (IPL) matches.

BSF said that Mohammad Ibrahim, a resident of Purva Chandpur in Narayanganj district of Bangladesh, was caught near the International Border in North 24 Parganas of West Bengal on Friday night.

A BSF official said, “During interrogation, he revealed that he is a fan of cricket and was on his way to Mumbai to watch an IPL match.

“They gave a broker 5,000 Bangladeshi taka for crossing the international border,” the official said.

He said that as a goodwill gesture, the man was handed over to the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB).
