Batting on 97, India superstar Virat Kohli looked set to complete his hundred in the World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh on Thursday. However, Bangladesh's left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed all but threw a spanner in Kohli's plan by delivering a ball down the leg side. While it looked like a wide delivery, umpire Richard Ketlleborough refused to signal the extra run, pouring cold water on the Bangladesh spinner's plans.
However, umpire Richard Kettleborough's unexpected decision surprised many. Even Kohli appeared disappointed with the bowler's intentions, but the umpire seemingly supported his call.
