Latest Cricket News: Rohit Sharma-led Indian team grabbed the headlines following a remarkable victory over New Zealand in Sunday’s World Cup clash. India squared off against the Blackcaps on Sunday in Dharamshala amid the 21st fixture of the ongoing 2023 Cricket World Cup. The India-New Zealand affair ended in a thriller, with the Men In Blue claiming a stellar 4-wicket win.

Virat Kohli, the legendary India batter, starred for the national side in Dharamshala with a near-century innings. In his 104-ball stay at the crease, Kohli hammered 95 runs against a fierce New Zealand bowling attack. Moreover, Mohammed Shami remained India’s pick of the bowlers with a 5-wicket haul and was named the Player of the Match.

Latest Cricket News: Virat Kohli Labelled As ‘Selfish’ After His 95 In Dharamshala

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli is facing notable criticism owing to his ‘self-centered’ batting finish in Dharamshala. Kohli, visibly, tried keeping the strike to himself in the backend of India’s run chase with an alleged aim of completing his century. The Delhi battered required 25-odd runs for his hundred with his team needing 36 runs to win the match – as a result, he tried to be on strike at large.

An episode that has drawn the most criticism from the fans is Virat Kohli denying a comprehensive double run with Ravindra Jadeja being his batting partner. The incident happened as India was cruising toward the total and Kohli avoided taking the second run in order to keep himself on strike.

“Virat Kohli has done this for us for so many years. He backed himself to do the job. Kohli and Jadeja pulled us back when we lost a few wickets in the middle. Happy that we won. Nothing much to say.”
