Virat Kohli produced a masterclass century to guide India to a comfortable seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Kohli remained unbeaten on 103 runs off 97 balls, hitting 6 fours and 4 sixes in his knock.
Kohli started his innings cautiously but soon got into his groove. He played some exquisite shots all around the ground and was particularly severe on the Bangladeshi bowlers in the middle overs. Kohli reached his century off the last ball of the 42nd over, sparking wild celebrations in the Indian camp.
Kohli's century was his third in the World Cup and his 48th overall in ODIs. He is now the second-highest century-scorer in World Cup history, behind only Sachin Tendulkar.
Kohli's innings was the highlight of India's chase of 257. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill gave India a solid start, adding 88 runs for the first wicket. After Rohit's dismissal, Kohli and Shreyas Iyer consolidated the Indian innings. The duo put on a partnership of 56 runs before Iyer was dismissed for 19.
KL Rahul then joined Kohli at the crease and the two batsmen took India home with ease. Rahul remained unbeaten on 34 runs off 34 balls.
Kohli's century was a timely reminder of his class and ability. He is one of the greatest batsmen of all time and his performance in this match will give India a huge boost in their quest to win the World Cup.
Bangladesh was also trying that Virat will not convert his innings to a century so they started to give the wide balls but one surprise thing happened that umpire didn't give the wide balls and Virat convert his innings to the century.
