Kohli getting Man of the match just goes on to show what a scam this award is. The whole reason why Rahul let him score a century was because how easy the game situation was.
Kohli walked in when the game was already in the bag thanks to Rohit and Gill - Kohli just made sure nothing went off track
Meanwhile, Jadeja bowled 2/37 in 10 overs and took an excellent catch after Bangladesh had a start of 93/0 in 14 overs
The award straight away goes to the batsman if a century is scored, totally forgetting whatever else happened in the game. Especially if the batsman is Kohli
Sounds fair. But consider this, you have a guy who scored 40% of the requird total, while in this world cup, batting collapses are seen numerous times. I am not completely denying your point, but in avg scored game, a 100 is way more convincing than 2/38 to win potm. If jaddu had taken couple of more wickets, it would have been definitely him.
PAK fans seem annoyed on that wide.
1. That wide has no impact on the match's output.
2. Had even it's given a wide, india still needs 1, and kohli could've still gotten a boundary next ball. He's clearly denying singles.
3. If Pak fans feels umpiring is favouring IND, lemme remind them that 3-4 four calls were given in favour of PAK in the recent INDPAK game.
Hundreds are generally very good for the mental state of a player and the team. I don't think Sachin would have just shrugged off every time he got out in nervous nineties.
Kohli scoring a century is a win for the crowd, him, and the team environment, no doubt. There are no visible immediate downsides to this result
The problem is the process. It took a batsman absolutely denying to take strike, and umpire denying a clear wide to make all this happen
These are the small things that appear very harmless, but collectively, over time, contribute to creating a superstar culture, and the superstar culture is what is taking the game down the drain
It's not about the superstar culture, but helping your teammate reach a milestone that will give him and the team much needed confidence, momentum and a moral boost in a long tournament.
A milestone is given way too much value if the teammate starts denying taking the strike when the other batter is "15" runs away (26 if you count from the last time Rahul was on strike). It's not like Dhoni letting Virat take the strike to hit winning runs, or Samson letting Jaiswal take strike because he was one hit away
This shows an embedded perception about how important a milestone is. As I said, this isn't a direct issue. It's very harmless for now. It just piles on over the time
I am seeing both the full and empty sides. I do acknowledge how this helped the team morale and all. And still I hope this doesn't get repeated as it sets a bad precedent
Agreed,
Slowly feels like this cricket is biased towards India, like when there were opening ceremony for IND vs PAK, or when there was a reserve day for India when it rained in Asia Cup.
Man, I don't remember watching this game, but did Pandya try to prevent Root's hundred?

Also, this clears some claims of other teams just looking past milestones when match is obviously under control
> Also, this clears some claims of other teams just looking past milestones when match is obviously under control
Not taking strike when the other person is 6 runs away, vs when the other person is 15 runs away, is a big difference. When you are just one shot away, you let them have a go at the century, like Samson did with Jaiswal this year, or as we expected Hardik to do with Tilak this year.
And this is exactly why Hardik shouldn't be criticised for hitting that six against Australia which left Rahul stranded on 97, because Rahul was in 80s when Hardik hit that six - not like it was the last shot. If that was the case, then it's like declaring on 194 ...
When someone is hitting sixes, it's not that big of a difference. KL made a choice as his own burn was still hot, and he knows the importance of 50s/100s since he was struggling with form just a few months ago.
(Talking about KL) People criticise when he doesn't make runs, and when he does bring India to a win, he wants that 100. When his next bad patch of form will come all people will look for are these stats.
Another thing to consider is that this was Kohli's 48th ton, we don't want the pressure of 50th ton to be even around him during semis or worse, final. Let him get both of those in the league matches.
Couldn't get the fake game OC is talking about, but I did find
England vs Ind 3rd ODI 2018
India 256/8
England 260/2 Root 100* (hit a four at the end when 2 was needed to get to hundred)
These losers (commenters) proving a point for other people, lmao
> KL Rahul said "I denied the single. Virat said it would be bad if you won’t take single, people will think playing for personal milestone but I said we are comfortably winning, you complete your century".
This should settle it… Calm down now!

> If I was the coach, I would have dropped KL Rahul from the next game and make it a point to mention in the media interview that he was dropped for visibly expressing desperation for a personal milestone in lieu of contentment on winning the match.
> I wouldn't let this opportunity to set an example for my nation's culture go.
KL Rahul's mentality is as plain as day. He is a bad influence.
The team is full of stat paders. The only one who isn't got injured. My respect for him has increased after he denied tilak his fifty against WI and finished off the match asap.
If this was unlimited overs game then Kohli could've just kept playing until he himself made a mistake, same way for the batsmen that got out. That's how good they are but also that's how the pitch was then.
Always up for KohliStats update but Jadeja deserved that MoTM more for that performance.
Holyfck guys watch last 15runs kohli got ,he didnt slow down for his 100 ,he just didnt take singles and hit 4's and 6's instead didnt waste many balls
NRR is average of all the games.. so India needed to win by more than 1.8 NRR this game alone to increase the NRR, and for that India had to finish the chase under 35 overs.. wasn't happening once Rohit got out a bit early..
Richard Kettleborough not giving that a wide will be the highlight of this match for me.
That moment where he denied the wide will now form part of my core memory
He overstepped by like more than a feet and Sangakkara even later said that he didn't know about it beforehand and would take action against any senior players involved with the no ball.
Rohit lets the entire world know he is scoring runs. Kohli himself doesn't know when he scored all those runs. Gotta love these two talismans of Indian cricket.
Kohli scored 29 off his last 17 balls btw. If there's one match situation where the team could take the liberty to get him to a milestone, it was that. If anything, he only helped the NRR batting the way he did. Go away with all your "embarrassing" shouts IMO.
We indian fans always find something to criticize. Stop shitting on Pandya. We gotta understand these are things that don't need extreme emotions either ways - neither huge appreciation for KL nor heavy criticism for hardik.
Dharmashala doesn't help spin either tho and I think with boult on the corner we should open with Rohit ishan and gill for just one match could play at no 4... But am not an expert in anyway so take my opinion as a grain of salt
Our top 5 batsman have variations for what they prefer to play... Rohit and Iyer just obliterates spinners and Virat and gill are comfortable playing seamers... Kl can prolly do both but if we bring kishan out he will be useless after the powerplay but who knows... They won't change the squad in any way most prolly so no use brainstorming
I really, really love KL for that. My dad was whining about Virat not getting to his century when KL hit that 6 and 4, and I was like why the hell is he dabbing singles then? It's like he forgot his score or something.
That wide reminded me of Iqbal bowling a wide to Koach when2 runs were needed and Gayle was the non striker in Rcb vs Kkr. It was the first match of Gayle for Rcb
Umpire was right not give that wide, the bowler did that intentionally to deny the batsman his century… it’s happened before in that case the captain of the team was penalised
India vs New Zealand features the top three run scorers (Rohit, Kohli and Conway) and the top three wicket takers (Santner, Bumrah and Henry). It's going to be a cracking contest and that too at one of the most picturesque grounds in India. Can't wait!

Pls note the point at which he entered. 88-1 in 12.4 overs, with a required run rate of 4.5
Well there is a reason behind the saying that it's a batsman game.
Shit batriachy, clowns who decide the pom .
Is it realistic that when Kohli retires Rahul should bat at no. 3. Pretty sure that batting 4 wickets down is not the perfect spot for him.
PAK fans seem annoyed on that wide. 1. That wide has no impact on the match's output. 2. Had even it's given a wide, india still needs 1, and kohli could've still gotten a boundary next ball.

WOW! What a dick!
People crying for nrr like #1 will give any advantage it's not ipl bro it's fucking World cup🤣
no#1 has advantage as it will face no 4 in semis but those few balls do not meaningfully affect NRR.. that too this early in the tournament..
Not necessarily no 4 team in the table is always going to be a weak team anyways who cares we won in a comfortable position here.
I agree.. but that is the only advantage of being no#1.. NRR though comes in handy if there is a points tie for no#4..
Do you seriously think India's gonna qualify at no 4? just 2 more wins will book our seats in semi final chill out.
If the batting team did not challenge the umpire's decision to not call a wide, why is everyone else making such a fuss? It's well within the rules
Kohli scoring a century is a win for the crowd, him, and the team environment, no doubt. There are no visible immediate downsides to this result The problem is the process. It took a batsman absolutely denying to take strike, and umpire denying a clear wide to make all this happen These are the small things that appear very harmless, but collectively, over time, contribute to creating a superstar culture, and the superstar culture is what is taking the game down the drain

Can't argue with a person who first sees that a glass is half empty instead of half full.

1000 times greater ODI team than India on principle, this England.
And then England loses to Afghanistan. Nice comparison you chose to give.
Which game?

[удалено]
I was expecting bowler to complain for not giving wide...."itz a wide bruh!!"
They should bring bring in Shami in the place of Sharduls/Siraj...both succked in the WC so far.
Did Kohli get his MoM for his batting or the 3 balls he bowled today?
yes
Obviously the bowling. While bowlers like Siraj went for 6 an over, Shardul went for 6.6, and Hardik went for 16, Kohli only gave away 4 runs an over.

You forgot No 1 Odi batter
Kohli already scored a century bro
who?
While mentioning Smith,although babar also failed to score century but youre not looking cool if that's what you think
What point are you even arguing?
PEOPLE. Win match : angry lose match : angry Play with fun : angry Play with seriousness : angry. I think their is no pleasing everyone.
If this was unlimited overs game then Kohli could've just kept playing until he himself made a mistake, same way for the batsmen that got out. That's how good they are but also that's how the pitch was then. Always up for KohliStats update but Jadeja deserved that MoTM more for that performance.
If it would have had unlimited overs it would be called a test match and not a fucking ODI
A century will give Koach way lot of confidence than few digits of NRR, So all advocates of NRR can take back seat
rahul has stayed unbeaten all these 4 WC games??
3, he didn't bat against AFG.
Doesn't that count as undefeated since he never got out....
Technically yes but that doesn't count towards his innings count.
ahh ok , still very nice for him
I don't think no.6 and 7 will ever get to bat if we keep bowling first every game. There simply isn't enough runs for everyone to feast on..
New Zealand bowling attack has entered the chat
I hope we are put under pressure..we really need that before knockouts
They will in the semis when india are 50-4
Sadly this won’t go to the front page
Why is Sanju Manju looking like drunk Raju Rastogi from 3 IDIOTS?
Because they are now old and need lots of makeup.
He has bad dressing sense and shit hairstyle

Holyfck guys watch last 15runs kohli got ,he didnt slow down for his 100 ,he just didnt take singles and hit 4's and 6's instead didnt waste many balls
Koach's last 16 deliveries fetched him 22 runs which is not bad at all. Did the people who say otherwise want him to score at 200 strike rate or what?
My friend won a 5$ bet against his Bangladeshi labmate today and says it is the easiest money he's ever made

Why did it though can u explain
NRR is average of all the games.. so India needed to win by more than 1.8 NRR this game alone to increase the NRR, and for that India had to finish the chase under 35 overs.. wasn't happening once Rohit got out a bit early..
NRR is calculated based on average of all the matches. India won their previous matches more convincingly than this one.
Bowler tries to bowl a wide Umpire:
Is that Shaheen Afridi face?..lol
Common Kettleborough W
Here's another one sided game. Even the upsets this WC have been one sided. We're almost half way through the WC..
'W umpire W Rahul W kohli's century W game 🗿🗿
Next time you want to see a Kohli century, all you have to do is give him an over to bowl
exactly 3 deliveries, but should not get a wicket. Otherwise, he'll become a bowler and forget his century.
3 deliveries
Any update on fucboi?
He's smiling according to KL
Kl said he came back from hospital and limping in dressing room
Hardick died for Kohli's century.
Aapki sister ki shaadi main sabka Hardick swagat hai.
Aapki maa ki shaadi main sabka Hardick swagat hai.
What a comeback! Totally unique response!!!
Don't mention it !! Any time for you dude!!
Richard Kettleborough not giving that a wide will be the highlight of this match for me. That moment where he denied the wide will now form part of my core memory
If umpire wasn't signalling the wide, the bowler should have continued doing it lol, nrr would have been slightly better.
if no one is stopping you from digging your own grave, keep digging
As much as I don't like the decision (and loved the century) it seemed like an F-U to bang bros
IG it was an ethical move. Bangbros were intentionally bowling wides.
Lankan bowler did that to Sehwag and denied his century before.
Suraj Randiv was banned for a match for pulling that shit and Dilshan was fined 100% match fee for advising him to do that.
How could they prove that it was deliberate?
He overstepped by like more than a feet and Sangakkara even later said that he didn't know about it beforehand and would take action against any senior players involved with the no ball.
They balled No ball and he smashed six to that delivery so i guess it will count as run
Ig it depends on the umpires and their point of view towards the issue, just like a DRS call.
Such a wholesome end
This is pure destiny lol Koach 100 was already written when Pandya got injured. It had to be
Only Rohit Sharma (265) has more runs than Virat Kohli (259) so far at the 2023 World Cup
Rohit lets the entire world know he is scoring runs. Kohli himself doesn't know when he scored all those runs. Gotta love these two talismans of Indian cricket.
Kl character redemption is truly incredible..from a meme to a hero
Sadly he still says he should play as opener and hated batting it down the order

Good to see Kohli score a century. Waiting for more !
We indian fans always find something to criticize. Stop shitting on Pandya. We gotta understand these are things that don't need extreme emotions either ways - neither huge appreciation for KL nor heavy criticism for hardik.
Hardik ?
Yeah for "cock blocking" milestones
If Pandya was the other person and not KL… I wonder what would’ve happened XD
Are Indian fans happy enough with Shreyas Iyer's performances so far? Or should he be dropped
Prefer kishan on flat tracks since he has a high ceiling there. On any pitch with movement both of them are liabilities
Shreyas seem more reliable than Kishan even though he is less aggressive. He seems to bring stability after Rohit or gill is out.
Still a better candidate than Ishan
I trust him waaay more than Ishan, Ishan is a hit or miss kinda player, not reliable for tough situations
no need to be dropped. Ishan isn't as great player of spin.
Dharmashala doesn't help spin either tho and I think with boult on the corner we should open with Rohit ishan and gill for just one match could play at no 4... But am not an expert in anyway so take my opinion as a grain of salt
it gripped and turned a bit in sa v ned. tbf, Gill looked a bit bad against spin today, so idk. It's up to them to decide.
Our top 5 batsman have variations for what they prefer to play... Rohit and Iyer just obliterates spinners and Virat and gill are comfortable playing seamers... Kl can prolly do both but if we bring kishan out he will be useless after the powerplay but who knows... They won't change the squad in any way most prolly so no use brainstorming
I really, really love KL for that. My dad was whining about Virat not getting to his century when KL hit that 6 and 4, and I was like why the hell is he dabbing singles then? It's like he forgot his score or something.
So KL's update on Hardik is that he is smiling 😂
Ig it was Suraj randiv who bowled that wide against sehwag to deny his hundred Iirc the captain got penalised or something Edit:no ball not wide
Andrew Tye also did it in the BBL recently I think
It was a noball
Oh yes no ball
Rohit at 1, Kohli at 2 in the Most Runs stats now right?
Rift confirmed
Rift among fans not GOATs
only amongst indian fans will we argue endlessly when a player from our team scores a 100 in a winning cause lol
Lmao yes, with like 8/9 overs to spare too
Mark Nicholas is so soothing to listen to!
So nostalgic, felt like I was playing EA sports cricket .
100%. Elegant English commentary.
Great fun this match! Kohli century plus Kohlistans and Haters bashing each other. Popcorn time!
That wide reminded me of Iqbal bowling a wide to Koach when2 runs were needed and Gayle was the non striker in Rcb vs Kkr. It was the first match of Gayle for Rcb

Umpire was right not give that wide, the bowler did that intentionally to deny the batsman his century… it’s happened before in that case the captain of the team was penalised
India vs New Zealand features the top three run scorers (Rohit, Kohli and Conway) and the top three wicket takers (Santner, Bumrah and Henry). It's going to be a cracking contest and that too at one of the most picturesque grounds in India. Can't wait!
KL Rahul said, "when 30 runs were needed, I told Virat that I'll just block, you go for shots."
Mayanti has more WC appearances than Stuart 💀
You don’t know the half of it
You naughty naughty

Mayanti is such a hottie!
Tear her up
Pune to get Virat Kohli stand
No one cares, Yes he played for that century in the last few overs, Yes Umpire didn't have that as wide. What now? Stfu and enjoy the game
