As can be seen in the footage, several fans had gathered around Tim David as he made his way to his car. While most maintained a respectful distance, one individual stepped too close and reportedly grabbed the cricketer’s hand in an attempt to click a selfie.
The unexpected physical contact appeared to frustrate David, who reacted by taking the fan’s phone away momentarily. Though visibly annoyed, he did not escalate the situation further.
Instead, he handed the device back shortly after, gesturing that such behavior was not appropriate. He then proceeded to leave the scene and got into his vehicle.

Interestingly, this is not an isolated case. Recently, Ishan Kishan was also seen reacting strongly when a fan tried to forcibly take a selfie with him at an airport. The recurring nature of such incidents has sparked conversations around respecting personal space, even in public settings.
Cricketers, due their popularity, often face overwhelming crowds, especially during tournaments like the IPL. While fans’ enthusiasm is understandable, such moments highlight the importance of maintaining boundaries.
