Unable to trigger a click event on series data | Highchart

I am trying to fire a click event in a series of data ( I am using Highcharts ) . My approach is as follows. I have the click event added in the plotOptions rather than point as it is done here which is working fine.

The issue (I think) is that firePointEvent is not working but clicking manually does fire the event.

var chart = $("#container").highcharts();
chart.series[0].data[0].firePointEvent('click');

Is there something I am missing or am I wrong somewhere ?

The problem is that you are setting chart.plotOptions.series.events.click, but the original demo is using chart.plotOptions.series.point.events.click.

In case you want to fire an event programatically for a series, use:

Highcharts.fireEvent(chart.series[index], 'click', event);

In this case events can be referred:

chart.options.plotOptions.series.events.click(chart.series[series index]);

and get series inside chart like:

click: function(event) {
console.log(event);
alert(event.name + ' clicked\t');
