In a bittersweet moment for Indian cricket, the indomitable Virat Kohli, known for consistently shattering milestones, faced an unexpected departure after achieving his 50th ODI century in the World Cup 2023. Surpassing the legendary Sachin Tendulkar in the most ODI centuries record, Kohli's remarkable feat added another chapter to his storied career.

The turning point occurred in the 44th over of the World Cup 2023 Semi-Final against New Zealand at the Wankhede stadium on November 15. Tim Southee, representing the Kiwis, dismissed the 35-year-old batter, who departed after scoring a magnificent 117 runs in 113 balls. Kohli's departure was met with applause and a standing ovation from the Wankhede crowd as he raised his bat.

The dismissal unfolded as Kohli shimmied down the track to flick a length ball over square leg, only to be caught by Devon Conway. The New Zealand players congratulated Kohli on his way out, recognizing the significance of his innings.

As of the latest update, KL Rahul is at the crease with Shreyas Iyer, with India standing at 348 runs for the loss of two wickets in 45 overs.
