Virat Kohli helped India achieve an impossible feat during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh.
Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli achieved an impossible feat by helping India score 14 runs in just one legal delivery during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh on Thursday. The feat was achieved against Hasan Mahmud during the 13th over of the India innings when Kohli took advantage of the bowler’s lack of discipline. Kohli came out to bat after the dismissal of India skipper Rohit Sharma and scored two runs off his very first ball. However, the umpire adjudged it a no-ball and the veteran batter slammed the resultant free-hit for a boundary through mid-on. Unfortunately, it was a no-ball once again and Kohli was awarded another free-hit which he heaved over the long-on fielder for a massive six.
Earlier, Spin bowlers Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja engineered a top-order collapse as India restricted Bangladesh to 256-8 in a Cricket World Cup 2023 match in Pune on Thursday.
Bangladesh openers Tanzid Hasan, whose 51 was his maiden one-day international fifty, and Liton Das (66) were both in fine touch.
The Tigers– who have won three of their last four ODIs against India — were well-placed at 93-0 only to slump to 137-4 after Najmul Hossain Shanto, deputising as Bangladesh captain for the injured Shakib Al Hasan, won the toss on a good batting pitch.
But Mushfiqur Rahim’s 38 and fellow veteran Mahmudullah’s dashing 46 bolstered the total before Shoriful Islam ended the innings with a spectacular six over extra cover off Jasprit Bumrah.
Jadeja took a miserly 2-38 from his 10 overs and Yadav, who made the initial breakthrough, 1-47.
Tournament hosts India are bidding for a fourth successive win at this World Cup, with Bangladesh having lost two of their three matches after defeating Afghanistan.
After some testing early overs, 22-year-old left-hander Tanzid attacked both Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.
He then struck their fellow paceman Shardul Thakur for 16 runs in three balls, with two sixes separated by a stylish on-driven four.
Tanzid, whose highest score in eight previous ODIs was 16, completed a 41-ball fifty before he was lbw to left-arm wrist-spinner Yadav to leave Bangladesh 93-1 in the 15th over.
Liton was still there but he carelessly lofted Jadeja to long-off.
India were a bowler down after Hardik Pandya managed just three balls in the ninth over before limping off with ankle damage.
Virat Kohli, bowling in a one-day international for the first time in six years, completed Pandya’s over.
Bangladesh had a setback even before play started when key all-rounder Shakib was ruled out with a thigh injury suffered during Friday’s eight-wicket loss to New Zealand in Chennai.
