IND vs BAN: Virat Kohli did not want to score a century, KL Rahul told the truth after the match
India vs Bangladesh, World Cup 2023: Wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul, standing at the other end, helped Kohli a lot in completing his century. Rahul rejected many easy singles in the last over and allowed them to remain on strike.
The 17th match of World Cup 2023 was played between hosts India and Bangladesh. In this match played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, India defeated Bangladesh by 7 wickets in 51 balls with the help of former captain Virat Kohli's century. Kohli completed his 48th ODI century by hitting the winning six.
Wicketkeeper-batsman KL Rahul, standing at the other end, helped Kohli a lot in completing his century. Rahul rejected many easy singles in the last over and allowed them to remain on strike. Now he is just 10 centuries away from scoring the most centuries in the history of ODI cricket. He is just one century behind the record of great batsman Sachin Tendulkar. This is Kohli's third century in the World Cup.
This century is also special because when India needed 19 runs to win against Bangladesh, Kohli was also 19 runs away from the century. But, at the other end, Rahul supported him fully and played an important role in Virat completing his century.
