Men's ODI WC: You Want To Put The Team First, Says Pujara On Kohli Going Slow To Get 48th ODI ton
Net Run Rate: Indian Test batter Cheteshwar Pujara gave his take following Virat Kohli's remarkable achievement of scoring his 48th ODI century against Bangladesh, which he accomplished by strategically refraining from taking singles in the final overs of the run chase.
A section of fans expressed their opinion on social media regarding Kohli's choice to refrain from taking singles while partnering with KL Rahul. In the final phase of the Indian chase to reach 257, Kohli managed to score the last 30 runs primarily by keeping the strike to himself. During this period, Kohli faced 8 dot balls in the last 21 deliveries.
"As much I wanted Virat Kohli to score that hundred, you have to keep in mind, that you want to finish the game as early as possible. You want your Net Run Rate to be at the top. If you are in a position where you are fighting for the Net Run Rate, then you don't want to look back and say 'you could have done that'," Cheteshwar Pujara told ESPN Cricinfo.
