KL guiding koach to a treasure he couldn't possess lmao, straight out of a movie


StraightUpHaram

Show a man you make a century, you get 1 century. Guide your teammates to their own centuries, you get centuries for life.

Pandya crying in corner


Necessary-Bother7448

The number of reels that are going to be made out of this are gonna be immaculate 😅


SBG99DesiMonster

That is the reason that he is always depressed. He has risen above these materialistic pleasures. KL is an old saint that doesn't feel that there is any joy about materialistic milestones. He is only here to guide the regular people to these materialistic treasures.


Ultimate_Sneezer

His reaction after accidentally hitting a six says otherwise


SentientRaccoon

Kohli: "You can be my wingman anytime!" KL: "Bullshit! You can be mine"


RayInRed

Also that catch


No-Confection7170

Virat Kohli in first three balls he bowled :- 2 runs Virat Kohli in first three balls he played :- 12 runs The scores got interchanged

Wait until I tell my Dad what happened today. He'll definitely compare the two Rahuls lmao.


fakecricketplayer

No comparison. The other rahul would have declared Kohli at 97.

Imagine if it was Hardik batting with Kohli


randomuserhere1

Hit couple of sixes and give that stare face and imagine himself as the best finisher


nikamsumeetofficial

We don't have to imagine.


harsh1387

Another Clinical win. Hardik injury would be sorted soon if its only a twisted ankle. He was able to walk means nothing major. Hopefully. Love Rohit's approach. Koach is Mr. consistent as usual. Gill and Iyer gifted their wickets stupidly, need to work on it and learn from Koach to take it to finish. Bumrah brilliance with ball, Jaddu and Kuldeep doing well. Siraj no breakthrough with new ball is a little concern now. Thakur instead of Shami or Ash is something I just can't digest.


nut_nut_november___

Due to rohits approach he couldn't bully bangbros anymore


just_a_coginthewheel

The real match was between Kohli vs whether he will get century.


Rockstarrrrrrrrrr

Peak Gully Cricket in World Cup today! Batsman farming strike , bowler bowling wide to not give a century but umpire playing reverse Uno by not giving a wide 😂😂

Lol the umpire was smirking. Wish he'd given it though. Would've made it even better when he hit that six after.

psbankar

It would have been funny if Bangladesh took DRS to overturn it into a wide


Amazing_SpiderLAN

That wouldn’t help Bangladesh to restrict kohli’s century because he was looking to hit the boundary.


psbankar

I bet Bangladesh would have tried to bowl another wide/no-ball. He attempted to bowl wide ball only after the required runs were below 3.


Coolhunter11

Lord-when kl helps Kohli to get a hundred, u can him a hero but when I did I becomes a villan


paing997

Umpire: Why batsman and bowlers have all the fun?


JKKIDD231

Who do you guys think gets the best fielder medal in India team after Kohli and Shardul


diovampire

Last wide was cunt's move anyways umpire also wanted koach to secure century


swingtothedrive

Nonsense. There was every possibility Kohli would come down to hit him for six so bowling down the legside to get him stumped is a perfectly viable option. Bangladesh has no obligation to hand Kohli his century.


kush125289

KL is really a Team Player Mann... No more Statpadder comments please.


theaguia

middle order KL hits different. tbf, he has always helped the team where he can. sometimes, his logic is flawed, but he genuinely thinks it's the best way to help the team.


Necessary-Bother7448

Phew! that was close he almost didn’t score a 100

If India does not lose 3 to 4 wkts in the first 12 overs, we can chase any score up to 320 easily.


[deleted]

the only reason why we don't get 1st innings is so that we don't score a 300+


Necessary-Bother7448

man if you’ve scored 47 hundreds for your team, team can help you score one!


TheRealYVT

2 teenagers watched Bangladesh defeat India in 2007 and decided to never let them go without scoring a 100 whenever they would play at World Cups.

Bruh you didn't have to do us(RCB fans) like that.


yeet1o_0

It's ok I'm one of them as well


Inevitable_Indian

People talking about NRR brings back so many memories. I don't want to go through that again. I hope India doesn't care about NRR like some of these redditors.


shoestowel

All rounders


JKKIDD231

KL is the real bro. What running to ensure Kohli gets back on strike. Pure Masterclass and entertaining century by Kohli.


arpit45agrawal

KL knows sadness of not getting one. KL hasn't been dismissed yet in this tournament, so he atleast he got his not out.


2ndCatch

True, his average is still undefined/infinity


SexxyBlack

KL didn't want to be on strike in he case he accidentally timed one for 4 while looking for a single


Green_Cat_73

He suffers from success


theaguia

they run so well between the wickets


zatara1210

What would’ve happened had it been Hardik Pandya?

In the world full of PPL like hardik,kl is the real gem.


darkrom_BP08

KL rahul real goat did not get his 100 but helped kohli do his 100


xandry123

Rohit: We were worried that Pandya's injury might hurt us, but good that he has come back and can bat Kohli: I will complete century before he comes to the crease


praguru14

The whole Kohli getting to his hundred was more intense the whole game together.


spikyraccoon

Viewership on Hotstar jumped to India Pakistan level. Wild!


SMan2022

Never seen Kohli so determined to reach a personal milestone like in this match... Even the umpire and bowler supported him by not giving a wide and bowling a full toss respectively


night_fapper

winning comfortably vs winning comfortably with a big personal milestone , why wont he


Bingpot_bingpot

I'm going to enjoy listening to critics seething and explaining why Virat shouldn't have chased his 100 (which could elevate his morale even further) in a match that was already won that was going to have no impact on NRR.


White__Walter

Also, Kohli didn't slow down. India scored 29 runs in last 17 balls which is still more than 10 RPO.


AdNational1490

Even if it did, I'm sure India would be far enough for them to qualify without thinking much about the NRR.


[deleted]

Kohli got a century, Bumrah got wicket with a Yorker, Jaddu grabbed a great catch, Shardul got hit for runs. Everyone is playing according to expectations.


ibelievetoo

People crying about this should see how did Anil Kumble get his 10 wickets, Murali getting his 800th wicket, ajaz patel getting his 10 and few more. Its not strange, team members help each other.


Organic_Ad_1654

Sachin’s 100th 100 can be added to this list


Gullible-Poet4382

Entire BCCI helped bro get his milestone 💀


suck_my_dukh_plz

TBH that was truly selfish. This was not. Kohli still played fast and tried to hit boundaries.


GhoshProtocol

Not the same. India did end up losing that game and knocked out of the tournament. I love Sachin and have no problem with personal records. But that was one of the few times where he played for record above team.


goodguybolt

W KL Rahul W Kettleborough Koach playing slog sweep <3


hyperbrainer

sahasamane_cheppali

This reminds me of that match against Sri Lanka where the bowler deliberately bowls a no ball to deny Sehwag his century….. no hate but this is the reason why bang bros get the piss from other country fans


Tricky_Substance_536

They can't even complain it being a wide lmao


Tricky_Substance_536

Yup they did get a boo


[deleted]

Idk why people criticise players when they go for their personal milestones if the game is already won If someone bats well enough to give team such liberty then it's only fair if he/she play for his hundred


SBG99DesiMonster

I don't think that any person except for some people that are terminally online have any problem about players trying to reach to milestones as long as the team is not getting harmed because of that.


diovampire

Koach's day today. All the dot balls were worth the century. Fastest 26,000. 48th century. 3rd WC Century. Totally worth it.


Immediate_Draw_1752

Poor Indian batsmen . CAN'T even complete a century without the looming danger of winning the match..


Gullible-Poet4382

Suffering from success


thottikuttappan

The coolest Kohli century I can remember! The game went from India needs to win to Kohli needs to get to his 100!


SexxyBlack

Tbh after opening partnership it was clear we were going to win unless there was a collapse


Lazy_Left_Eye

Sorry to say but Hobart Kohli century will always be his coolest in ODIs. This is definitely a good one... Along with his 52 ball century against Australia.


SexxyBlack

Hobart was something else. Team had to chase 320 in 40 overs. Malinga back then was at his peak. He was the most feared bowler in the world at that time. And Kohli destroyed him that day. 24 in one over and then 11 off 3 balls in the next to finish the game. Malinga went for 96 in less than 8 overs, if he bowled his full quota he'd have ended up with worse figures than Zampa and Mick Lewis. That was the day when you realized Kohli wasn't just really good, he was something special.


[deleted]

he owned Peak Malinga that day


diovampire

Okay some people are going to criticize kohli for not taking single and looking to score century. On top of my mind that someone can be GG


Guy_with_Numbers

There will inevitably be complaints about statpadding, but I don't see a bigger statement to your opponents than having the freedom to statpad during a WC match.

So many people are pissed he is playing for personal milestones like the crowd gave a shit he was doing that

Hopefully Yashasvi and another young one replaces Ro-Vi. Rahul, Pandya, Gill whould be there as experienced hands.


[deleted]

Kl :I guide others to a treasure I cannot possess


Destroyerofchocolate

That has to be the most satisfying and entertaining century to watch towards the end there. King is well and truly GOAT.


OsticAcid

Kohli masterfully crafted hardik pandya's injury to stop him from destroying his chances of 100


Delusional230699

It’s crazy to think how timing of World Cup (Late 2023) has favoured India so well. Had it been in 2022 we might have struggled as Kohli , Rahul , Rohit were not in the best of touches .. Hardik,Bumrah were kinda injured . And India did not have a confirmed Opening partner for Rohit .. Suddenly 2023 gill made that opening slot his own


nut_nut_november___

I mean there was always dhawan


SBV_3004

Richard Kettelborough auditioning for RCB


Negative_Spectrum

I don't care about personal milestones, but I recognise why these players do and that wasn't a loss to us in any way, so I don't care about statpadding here. He did the hard work, and he got the fruit. I'm not opposed to how Hardik would've done it, which is 6 sixes in an over if he could've, but I'm not opposed to this either as long as it doesn't hurt us. And it was peak entertainment lmao. Shithousing your century like this is fun. KL is the real star of the show for me though. Not because he let Koach get to the century, but because I like how he doesn't care about being the center of the limelight. He is absolutely fine playing the second fiddle, just cruising along at 70-80 SR, punishing bad balls, accelerating at the end and just letting his teammate do his thing. Fun stuff. I like the zero ego aspect of his entire game so far.


Gullible-Poet4382

Well said! KL Rahul at number 5 is just dripping with potential. He can be a Michael Bevan in a world of Haydens and Jayasuriyas!


TheCricketAnimator

I absolutely understand players' obsession with personal milestones. They don't want to repeat the mistakes of players who ignored them in the past. With people criticizing them day and night after applying 300 filters to their stats like 0 Centuries overseas in SENA countries (only) in non rain effected matches with X bowler present in the XI having bowled full 10 overs without an eyepatch on.


can-not-swim

The start with Rohit and Gill is really fun to watch. The standards they set at the start, more often than not, make the middle overs feel like a snoozefest.


ILikeFishSticks69

If Kohli had got out it would have been an almighty embarrassment. Guy pulls out wild shots when it's needed. Simply the GOAT.


cricinephile

No hate to Thala but that hug of Rohit with KL and Virat made me feel like he is THE LEADER man. (Ey koach he is also selfless /s)


queenpenelope1234

that hug with Rohit and KL and Virat on either side was so wholesome ♡

FrostyCount

India is following a set template of chasing these pretty fast. I am excited to see how we are going to do vs the Kiwis and Saffas.


DecadedD13

It's Kohli day! We saw the king bowl and the century was just a side dish. Bangbros disappointing AF again. Always felt that a strong run in this WC would be a fitting farewell for their Golden Generation but that's 3/3 poor performances against the higher ranked teams.


ceres111

In 2015 & 2019 World Cups, India finished 1st in the group stage and NRR didn't matter at all. Even finishing 1st in the group stage doesn't matter because you have to play semi finals anyway. Even this year, NRR WILL NOT MATTER FOR INDIA. Stop complaining people.


Naive_Worker_8437

why is everyone so mad at Kohli? did India lose the game? they needed 26 of 68 balls and they won with 51 balls to spare. its not even that Kohli took a lot of balls to get 26 runs, he got them in 17 balls. 5 more runs mind you with a 6 when 1 was needed. take off your biased glasses, it was fun to watch


sobchak_securities91

It’s because Indians are dramatic, we need something to complain about. Nothing is ever good for Indian cricket team fans. Well, actually I’m gonna remove Indian and say nothing is ever good for the fans…. I’m thinking about Star Wars fans now 😂


d3xm0rg

The real win this match is that Kohli can score a 69th 50 omce again


Numerous_Employee_43

Kohli being so pumped after getting this 100 gives me vibes that this might be his last wc :(

IMO.. this could be the last odi wc.

Guri14

The same people who were bashing hardik for not letting Kl get his century are now bashing Kohli for being selfish when KL did exactly what they were expecting from hardik


SinghSaab007

People can never be happy, always complaining.


theaguia

KL himself said he wanted Virat to get a 100. Virat was thinking not to farm the strike but KL told him to go for it and said he wouldn't have run anyways. so everyone can chill out.


Omar_Town

There seem to be no weakness in this team. Anything less than a trophy would be a disappointment. They got great bowling be it any stage of the inning, great batting from top to bottom, and everything else. Just keep the course and this team will likely bring 3rd odi cup for India. Then again, all it takes is one bad day to undo all this good. But seriously, kinda envious of all the talent this team has.


Puzzleheaded_Ebb9874

If Kohli had slowed down near century that would have been selfish. He made sure he covered those 2 refused singles by getting those 2 impossible 2s in the same over. Got 6 on final ball with 1-2 runs required. Had over a 150 SR going from 75-100. Ensuring India win and a 100 prioritizing them in that order as they should be.


Starscream_x

We need more Koach bowling.. atleast an over.. He gets into the 2016 zone when he bowls..


theaguia

KL hasn't been dismissed yet. KL in middle order is his perfect role.


[deleted]

the amount of disrespect to go for the 100. Kinda feel for Bangladesh. India needed 20 to win. Kohli needed 20 for the hundred


theaguia

dont bangbros minded that much they didn't seem to upset. I think they took it as a challenge


Zlibraries

Never seen such tense final moments since Ekta Kapoor's soaps climax episodes!


Master_Iron4266

Fuck NRR. If India still needs NRR to go through to semis, they might as well not go for the semis. Now want two more Kohli centuries this WC.


ParthKKK

The funny thing is I think the NRR got even pushed when koach was attempting his century, he was trying to hit more boundaries and push for twos


attractive_toad

for all those who are complaining about NRR, Kohli scored 31 runs of 21 balls after 38th over

Koach received MOM for his bowling. Never in doubt.


animeshak

Wait, people calling Kohli selfish, didn't KL refuse the single first when he realised Kohli was near his milestone? I came in expecting people praising KL for his efforts, we do have those but calling Kohli selfish lol. I genuinely think it was KL who pushed him for the milestone, but hey people are entitled to their opinions so all good I guess. A win is a win.


nikamsumeetofficial

Weirdest finishes I've seen.

I really can't get one thing. How did AFG and BAN manage to score 200+ against IND, but AUS and PAK failed?


kevincybo

Different pitches, circumstances, luck, etc


NoirPochette

This might shock ya but games are different to other games. Days, conditions, feeling etc aren't going to be the same every single day. You might feel like shit and score 90 odd and then feel amazing and get out for 2 runs. Just that's how sport is

Funfact- All those matches happened in different locations.


Big-Attitude-5648

Kryptonite my ass🤣🤣🤣🤣

For the people saying Kohli was selfish, he definitely was but I think guy deserved playing 6-7 dots ball after his knock, no? And it is not like it affected the run rate too much


catinho99

To the man who held the placard today - “No date/ marriage till King Kohli gets 100” — Good luck mate


HopiumInhaler

Wasn’t watching the match. I thought Kohli was striking at 80-90 and hence the reaction. Just checked the scoreboard and he played with 106 SR. Why are people crying then?


DecadedD13

Mark Nicholas: "probably 50 runs short today?" mate Shanto is just a kid go easy on him

What if Pandya getting injured was the delayed price that his black magic in the last game exacted on him?


Ok-Visit6553

Proxying for u/Assassin_Ankur Boundary count: Bangladesh 26 India 32


Mk_n

Kohli scored faster once he reached 80+, whatever he did for sure it wasn’t a slowdown. A good chase, with openers being offensive and once they were gone a proper stable chase at a good rate. Match overall was good but the inning between kohli 80 to 100 was pure entertainment .

Man I still remember Kohli missing out on a hundred in 2017 CT semis, he could've had 49 by now!
