Virat Kohli's 48th ODI century was apparently a huge talking point in India's easy seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the ODI World Cup match. But more than that, one incident that caught everyone's attention was umpire Richard Kettleborough's decision of not calling Bangladesh's spinner Nasum Ahmed's down leg side delivery wide, with Kohli just three runs away from the hundred. The former skipper then went on to smash a six over deep mid wicket to complete his ton and India's win.

Bangladesh stand-in captain Najmul Hossain Shanto might have brushed aside the notion that spinner Nasum Ahmed "intentionally" bowled a wide ball to deny Virat Kohli a century during the World Cup match. But former India batter Mohammad Kaif thinks otherwise saying Nasum purposely bowled wide to stop Kohli from scoring a century. A huge controversy erupted when the on-field umpire Richard Kettleborough decided not to signal Nasum's down the led side delivery wide with Kohli batting on 97 and India needing another two runs to achieve the target of 257.

Virat Kohli scored his 48th One Day International (ODI) century in a thrilling victory over Bangladesh in the ICC World Cup match in Pune. His century was marked by a stunning six off Nasum Ahmed's delivery in the 42nd over. However, a crucial turning point occurred during the same over when the on-field umpire did not call a potential wide on the first delivery. The decision not to declare the delivery wide allowed Kohli to capitalize on it.
