Virat Kohli scores 78th century to make India win against Bangladesh World Cup 2023.

Virat Kohli, living up to his reputation as a chase master, achieved his first century of the 2023 World Cup, marking his 78th international century and leading India to a triumphant victory over Bangladesh.

This remarkable century was Kohli’s 48th in One Day Internationals (ODIs) and his third in the history of the 50-over World Cup. He reached his hundred in just 97 deliveries, embellishing his innings with six boundaries and four powerful sixes.

The conclusion of the match and Kohli’s century were nothing short of legendary, as he sealed the deal with a colossal six, ending Bangladesh’s hopes and guiding India to their fourth consecutive win in the tournament.

Reflecting on his performance, Kohli expressed his desire to make a significant contribution. He acknowledged his past instances of reaching half-centuries in World Cups but not converting them into centuries. This time, he was determined to remain at the crease and steer the team to victory, a feat he has accomplished consistently throughout his career.

In a post-match interview, he shared his thoughts, saying, “I wanted to make a big contribution. I have had a few fifties in World Cups, haven’t really converted. I just wanted to finish off the game this time around and hang around till the end which is what I have done over the years. I was telling Shubman, even if you dream about a situation like that, you’ll just go back to sleep, you won’t think it’s real.”
