Indian star batsman Virat Kohli hit his 48th ODI hundred on Thursday, October 19, in their fourth match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Kohli's score helped India win by seven runs. However, it was hard for the master of the chase to make the mark because Kohli was only on 73* (77) after 38 overs and India only needed 28 runs to win.
The star batter chose to score the last few runs by himself, and KL Rahul helped him a lot by not giving him a single a few times. Rahul talked about what Kohli said to him in the middle of the game and said that he told him to run singles so that no one would think he was playing for his milestone. But the wicketkeeper hitter told him to go for it because India was already comfortably winning the game.
"I told Virat Kohli I wouldn't take singles and he said it would look bad if I didn't; people would think I was playing for a personal goal." "But I told them we were comfortably winning, and you made your hundred," Rahul told Star Sports after the game.
Kohli hit a six off of Nasum Ahmed to finish his hundred. He was still unbeaten at 103 off of 97 balls, having hit six fours and four sixes. India beat the goal of 257 runs in 41.3 overs thanks to his hit, giving them their fourth straight win in the tournament.
The former India captain earned to win Player of the Match for his amazing hundred. The star bowler needs just one more hundred to tie Sachin Tendulkar for the most hundreds in ODIs (49).
The stand-in leader for Bangladesh, Najmul Hossain Shanto, won the toss earlier that day and chose to bat first. Tanzid Hasan (51 off 43 balls) and Litton Das (66 off 82 balls) scored 93 runs off 88 balls to get them off to a great start.
Ravindra Jadeja was sensational with ball
But after they were out, no other hitter was able to have a big game, and Bangladesh could only score 256/8 in the 50 overs they were given. The best bowler for India was Ravindra Jadeja, who took two wickets in ten overs and had scores of 2/38. Jasprit Bumrah (2/41) and Mohammad Siraj (2/60) also took two wickets each.
