Virat looked desperate to complete his century, seeing which the Indian players were seen laughing loudly in the dressing room. The umpire also contributed to helping King Kohli achieve his century, the video of which has spread like wildfire on social media.
Umpire’s Contribution In Kohli’s Century
Virat Kohli was present at the crease after scoring 97 runs and needed three runs for his century. However, the Indian team was very close to the target, and only two runs were left to win. Nasum bowled the first ball of the 42nd over on the leg side, which was seen going outside the stump. However, despite this, the umpire did not declare the ball wide, while the replays clearly showed that the ball had neither touched Virat’s bat nor his pad.
The fans and the Indian camp could not believe the umpire’s decision. Shubman Gill and Kuldeep Yadav laughed at the umpire’s decision in the dressing room. After this, Virat completed the 48th century of his ODI career by hitting a six in the same over. On social media, fans are giving different types of reactions regarding this decision of the umpire.
